UPDATE: Also having problems with New Proxy, SilverPlatter, Webspirs5 and Netscape 4.7

[Gerald Rezes <grezes@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Sorry for posting my own update to my original listing, but I JUST 
found a solution that might be of interest to the group.

My problem was with the equal sign in my proxy URL 
"http://0-151.112.6.37.catalog.llu.edu/webspirs/start.ws?customer=medl"

I added an explicit port number to the URL and that little update fixed 
my problems with Netscape 4.7x.  My new URL is 
"http://0-151.112.6.37.catalog.llu.edu:80/webspirs/start.ws?customer=medl"
