> This looks good.  It tells me an HTTP server (Medusa) is listening on
> port 8080.

> So I open another window and try to connect a client to that server:

> $ lynx http://localhost:8080/

> Lynx eventually replies: "HTTP request sent; waiting for response."

> If I try to connect lynx to another port (where there is no server),
> I quickly get the message "Alert!: Unable to connect to remote host."
> So, it looks like Lynx is able to connect to Medusa.  However, Medusa

Try starting Zope with one thread (run z2.py with a '-t 1' argument.

If this doesn't solve it, enter your Zope/lib/python directory and run
python1.5.2:

If you see the above request work, then it's not Zope that's your
problem, it's medusa.  This will at least help you narrow it down.  It
the above request *does* freeze, you'll need to step into the debugger
and find at which point it does.
