Just read Vincent's posting about NetSurf #6804 and thought, in relation
to my problem I'd give that a try.

Naaa!
As noted previously, NOT ONE of the recent versions of NetSurf, thought
they will load to the icon bar and run okay, will connect with ANY address
I try.

I'm now back to #6764 and NS connects okay.

What is causing this problem?

VRPC-DL RISC OS 6.20
