Tobin, the same thing often happens to me with Netscape on my Mac at home
-- I have to quit my ppp program (internet dialer) and then reconnect to
use Netscape again. A nuisance. When using Trumpet Winsock (the
equivalent to Mac's ppp program) and Netscape on the PC at school, the
students and I quit and restart Netscape numerous times while Trumpet
Winsock stays up and running.

Restarting . . . ! It seems excessive to have to restart the computer to
get Netscape to work again. However, when the machine freezes, there's no
choice if you want to get back on the Web.

Apple didn't have any suggestions as to the extensions to try? As I said
in another message, is this where Conflict Catcher would be helpful? I
suppose I could spend part of my summer performing the extension
elimination/identification test to see if extensions are causing the
problem.
