What were you trying to do?
I was trying to get Britannica Online
at URL= http://www.eb.com:180/eb.html

What's wrong:
I am denied access to Britannica Online. It prompts me for a user ID and
password.
What should have happened:
I think MIT has access rights to Britannica Online; I should have been allowed
access.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
I think this is a problem with the new version of netscape (ver 2.0) since
everything worked perfectly with the old version.
No I don't think that's the reason, since I just checked with Mosaic and the
same problem occurs.
