Thanks.  I was able to access the IPv4 URL like Collins but I did run
into a security/certificate issue.  Basically, there were two
problems:
1) The certificate was for site "tole" but was being issued by
"tole.pananix.com".
2) The certificate expired on 6/27/2006 @ 1:23 PM.

I was able to override the security concerns and retrieve the
document, so thanks for making it available.

Brad.
