Revers,
The internet loves me. It loves me so much that it won't let me go!

Any time I go on-line,
* with Netscape,
* with (ugh) IE,
* with Adobe/Illustrator/Pagemaker/Photoshop looking for those needed files,
* with MC/Rev
I must re-boot to kill the connection!

I've purchased "IPNetSentry" --the nerdiest APP since DeBabbelizer-- it 
tells me it's added "Trigger" and that I'm connected via port 80!
I've purchased "internet Cleanup": it chugs along and finds no viri or 
worms or anything remotely sinister like spyWare....

I checked and rechecked all my TCP/IP settings. No changes. But when I 
try to disconnect from SBC DSL, I'm immediately reconnected! I'm running 
a spiffy G4 under the kindly eye of MOS 9.2.2.

The one "clue" I get is "Welcome", <pause about 10 ticks> "Welcome" when 
I first connect to SBC DSL. Is the "Welcome" coming from SBC or the 
NetScape browser? Is there a "closeDammitClose socket" command in 
Transcript?

Re-booting is not that much fun, although it gives me a chance to 
stretch and grab another cuppa. Anyone got a suggestion? I mean, besides 
drinking less coffee (Peet's Mocha Java).
