I don't see how you even notice the looking up of addreesses since it
goes by so fast if you are using speech just hit the alt key or controll 
key and it should shut it up!  I only mention speech since that would be 
the only way you would even notice the looking up part unless your
internet provider is slow!  I use to have this problem with concentric
and b4futures but not infobahn!On Sat, 6 Dec 1997, Philip Webb wrote:
