Odd web site behaviour using any browser in FC2 and FC3

[Greg Guldenschuh]

Paul,
  Thanks for the info.  The site, I am told, is hosted at BellSouth.  I 
spoke with som "Techies" at Bellsouth and they had no clue as to what a ECN 
flag was on the TCP headers.  I wish I could get paid money for not knowing 
my business.

Thanks,
Greg Guldenschuh
