I just typed 'pdxlinux.org' in the address bar; I was not the source of
the extra t. I don't know where Firefox got that. 

>>>http://69.168.62.104/  is a good test.

In the lower left corner of the page it says 'Waiting for
69.168.62.104...'. But sometimes the tab never displays 'Problem
loading page'; it just continues trying forever. This is such a tab.
