    telnet newegg.com 80 paralyzes the terminal, just sits there:

        bobg at box9 ~]$ telnet newegg.com 80

        Connected to newegg.com.

I phoned Newegg customer service and they mentioned recent problems that 
had been solved and asked that I try the following in Firefox and give 
them the resulting number.

It too was blocked as I suspected it would be, wget is the same:

    [bobg at box9 ~]$ wget http://secure.newegg.com/test.aspx

I haven't found a phone number for opendns but filed a second inquiry 
on-line. They claim to respond within 72 hours!

I guess I can live without Newegg ad's for a while but it will bug me 
until it's fixed!

Thanks,

Bob
