My apology for the problems some of us were having with the URL address
for the MCA Homepage. Here I am supposedly trying to be sensitive to the
needs of all of us who have different access to the internet, and at the
same time being so insensitive as to assume that every web browser is
going to automatically look for the filename 'index.html'. My apology.

For some browsers, using http://communication.ucsd.edu/MCA/index.html will
make it easier for them to look for this address. Howver, for other
browsers, the /index.html part may not be needed since they will
automatically search for that filename anyway.

If you try both of these URL addresses and still have problem making
the connection, please e-mail me the detailed error message that you get
from your local machine after it fail to connect. I will use that to try
to figure out what's wrong. Sometimes, the problem maybe at your local
machine, i.e., it may not have the right host table. By seeing the error
message, I can better help you figure out where the problem is located.

Thanx,

Pim
