are you sure this is a cookie problem? I thought that NetHopper (3.2)
handled cookies;
and I know that Newt's Cape and LunaSuite suports them. (btw, cookies don't
provide "security";
they're just a convenient way of saving/providing a small amount of
state/personalized information to the server, sometimes after you've
registered/logged in so that you don't have to be constantly doing that for
each page).
Proxy server configuration is another possible problem -- though again, I
think all of the Newton browsers support that.
However, if the site requires SSL (secure socket layer for encryption), or
JavaScript or Java,
you're basically out of luck.
