Once you stated "Earthlink," it reminded me that Earthlink and
Mindspring are now one and the same. This leads, or may lead to big
problems, expecially, if Earthlink adopts Mindspring's way of having you
dial in. I use MIAMI, AEMail, and AWeb (I seldomly use V because of the
inabilities it has with handling js and cookies -- I do not like my
system hanging up or crashing, unnecessarily.).
When I set up my account with MindSpring, I found I had to first type
ALL the info into MIAMI, as though MindSpring were static. This included
entering everything into the database windows and wherever there is a
place that can be either dynamic or static, by clicking each place as
being static. After that, I switched all those places back to dynamic.
Then, too, I made sure that Miami NEVER asks Mindspring for any info;
asking for info causes an error in logging in and then a dropped connec-
tion. By doing all the last, I am able to fully use the Web. Of course,
I still had to type in some info into Miami, or else it would not know
where to dial up and would not be able to log me in.
Now, this does not happen with MetConnect (a New York City, only,
based ISP -- totally free, without banners, etc.), nor with AmigaOnLine.
With them, I go about the normal way of having Miami find everything.
Only if there has been a major change (new DNS number, etc.) do I have
to specifically enter anything into Miami, besides that which is needed,
no matter what.
I went into this long narration because I do not think that Miami is
nor can be the cause for any of the troubles. As for the browsers, I do
not have IBrowse, but I know that the main problems I have had with AWeb
have be when a site is using XML or JAVA or Flash, and will not let me
on, unless it detects I can accept these. V, OT other H, fails even
when nothing except needing js and cookies are required.
Would you do me a small favor? Please go to http://www.onebox.com,
sign up for a free account. Log off. Then log in and tell me whether V
was able to let you in, or, were you told by their server that "You must
allow javascript and cookies to use this site..."? If you can log in
with V, tell me how you did it?
Much thanks.
Julian.
