I have done this, but not recently. The last time was probably well over a year
ago, so I don't know if anything has changed. There may have been some trick
to it. At some point, I believe they had some kind of sign-on utility that had
to run, which i.d.'d you as a subscriber. That little item was almost certainly
Win-only. But then they radically reorganized their forums, dropped the
(specifically) OS/2 ones, and many others that weren't doing sufficient business,
and opened a majority of the surviving forums to anyone coming in from the Net --
though I'm not sure if that included posting or d/l privileges. I think the identifier
gizmo went away at this point. It may just have been that you needed to have
Cookies Enabled, JavaScript On, or both. If I still have a setup that connects
with them, without a problem, I'll let you know.
