[olug] ASP for linux/firefox

[Don Kauffman]

OK that makes sense! Thanks, Eric and Jeff. I'm not really that script
literate for that matter. :-( I'll have to try it on Monday at work when
I know the servers are up and then I'll try it from home. 

It did strike me as being kind of strange. I didn't stop to think that
it may be the servers fault. O/W I would have done a whole different
series of searches.
