Good call on the telnet thing!  I had never thought to use that for
cookies before...

Also, Nick, have you tried doing the old:
javascript:alert(document.cookie) trick?

Just paste that into your address bar and hit enter, should work on a
lot of different browsers.  If successful, it will show you the
contents of a cookie for that site... dunno if it'll help alot in your
case though.

Also, you can look in the cookies folder (specific to each browser,
usually) to see if a cookie is indeed being written.
