http://<http://www.caat.demon.co.uk/>www.caat.demon.co.uk 
 (url may be wrapped, sorry)  and I can't get the damn
thing to work - it frequently reloads 404 pages.  (as
in pages that aren't there)  - While this wastes a
fair amount of bandwidth, it doesn't really do enough,
as it's a pretty transmission, sending 2 lines of
text, as opposed to a whole front page.  

Suggestions?
