RE: DNS woes, and odd catalog behaviour (or not)

Miriam,

This is very strange I tried with Netscape 4.75 and with Internet Explorer 5
and I could get to the catalog but could not get to your featured lists.
Netscape message was "Error. Invalid HTTP response." IE message was "The
page cannot be found." Beats me completely, sorry!

Yes.  And I can access your featured lists too.

I suggest you check with the user if she is using Netscape 6.
Apparently the caret or circumflex (^) in the URL makes it
impossible for Netscape 6 users to access featured lists.
