"Visit the UFAQ "downloads" section and grab file #5 "netscape_cfg.zip".
Then, with Communicator closed FIND the file NETSCAPE.CFG located in
.../communicator/program/ directory and rename it NETSCAPE_CFG.BAK. Then
UNzip the downloaded file to that same directory. Restart Communicator,
you will have to re-enter some previously configured information but you
should now be able to select "direct connection" in the proxie setup.
