Yes. This is something I noted as well, Bob-- Netscape 2.0B1 and 2.0B3
have shut off socket support. So for now, look at it using B2! It's
nothing wrong with your code... I believe Netscape has some (security
related?) issues with sockets and so they have cut them off until these
can be resolved. Arthur Van Hoff told me (a while back) that Netscape
"had better" turn on socket support for their 2.0 when it sihps. In the
meantime, use 2.0b2.
