My jargon often diss-matches the gramaticals of others (expecially if 
they are from texas).

 From the STO installer:

"Safari, free web browser from Apple, suffers from a very short request 
timeout - 60 seconds. Some database-driven report pages and others fail 
to load because of that timeout. SafariNoTimeout is a haxie that allows 
you to change the connection request timeout in Safari ( 
http://www.apple.com/safari/ ) to a different value (by default it sets 
it to 10 minutes)."

I have had more timeouts from Safari than any other browser. These 
timeouts are often tied in with a disconnect, which could be caused by 
Sprint since I am using a Sprint branded Merlin PC Card modem.

After installing STO, these timeouts/disconnects happen way less often. 
Maybe the disconnects cause the timeout? Could be.

And yes, I did set the time out to 10 hours...  :)  It still 
disconnects...
