Mindterm 2.2 on OS X

[Kelly Kane]

Ok, now it doesn't load in Mozilla (well, Chimera .5, which uses 
Gecko 1.0.1 i think?) However in IE 5.2 it loads up just fine. I 
don't have to force quit Chimera, it gets to the ApptGate screen, 
with chs.cusd.claremont.edu as the prompt, but i can't hit enter. It 
seems to fail downloading one of the classes. I still want to be able 
to use the bloody thing w/o having to download the cab/jar (and even 
more, i don't like having to use a cab because of microsoft), and 
then the entire contents decompressed.

Did you install the developer tools with OS X? I have, but thats 
about the only thing different i may have done.

Well now i've restarted Chimera, and it seems like it just needed a 
kick in the ass, however it seems to be working now, however slow, it 
got one step further, and is trying to get me to the login prompt. 
Now it seems to be doing the same thing at the login prompt, freezing 
up while downloading one of the classes. Ok now you want to see some 
really wierd stuff, try like option-clicking the applet, etc. It 
seems to kick it into gear. Odd stuff. Good Luck :)
