Each to their own... :-)

If you remember, I fixed my Hermes and Uniprint to use the SockWatch 0.07
in ...!System.310.Modules.Network.

Neither Hermes nor Uniprint have had any problems with SockWatch 0.07 in
...!System.310.Modules.Network since I made the changes.

Netsurf 6696 needs SockWatch 0.07
