	Yeah...  There are too many logins on the ftp site and the error
splash screen that comes back to me in Netscape on Linux crosses 2-1/2
virtual screens on my desktop (at 1280x1024 resolution).  My guess is that
IE5 can't swallow that big a pill.  Are you running the latest IE5 with
all the latest IE5 security fixes from Microsoft?
