I'm not using proxy and haven't before either. Since I can sometimes reach a s
ite and other times not, I doubt that the problem is proxy. Also, since I'm
on ADSL, I don't really have an ISP in the regular way. The service is similar
to the BEZEQ 135 service. I connect to one of six available ISP's (none of
which is **my** ISP using PPTP

The experiment you suggested worked fine. I connected and got the error message
as you wrote. Here's what I got:
# telnet www.askjeeves.com 80
Trying 208.185.160.9...
Connected to www.askjeeves.com.

But Netscape still stalls after reporting that I've connected to
www.askjeeves.com. The strange thing is that the address I can and cannot
reach seem to change at random. For instance, as I write this, I can't get
askjeeves but I can get Dogpile, Hotmail, and Davecentral. An hour ago, I
couldn't get any of these sites.
I really do suspect that the problem is related to the ASDL connection, but the
BEZEQ help staff are useless :-(
