The same thing.

Using the "Warn me of any cookies" on both occasions, only one cookie was
indicated, a session id cookie, and, this time (I had not looked at the
details so closely last time), it stated that it would be sent back to
itself (or, the sever was sending a cookie that would only be sent back to
itself).

The complete message returned from the login attempt, is 
"This function is currently available. Please try again later." 

Every time that I tried to access the facility, using Netscape
4.61,running on RH 6.2, since the start of July, I got the same response.

The time out this time,was after 124 seconds.

When using Opera 6.02, running on RH 7.3, I disallow cookies, so it should
not be a cookie issue.

Perhaps, they test the browser version, and, decide that they will
disallow particular versions of Netscape, but you have been successful
with 4.78, and I have been unsuccessful with 4.79.
