Also remember that on os x unless Frontier was started as root then it can
not listen on port 80 (anything less then 1024 I think) and that is the
reason for the port forwarding.  You can check to see if you are port
forwarding by looking at the ipfw rules.  In the console type "sudo ipfw
list" and see if there is a forwarding rule like "102 fwd 127.0.0.1,8080 tcp
from any to any 80 in"  if not you can either run the portforwarding script
or type something like "sudo ipfw add 102 fwd 127.0.0.1,2534 tcp from any to
any 80 in"  There are some helpful hints in the
