Darn.  What I get is:

1- WM: The javascript window that pops up doesn't contain any video, its
just black, and I can't find a URL to a stream at all. :(  I'm guessing
its a proxy issue.

2- Real: Can't retrieve the smil playlist, mplayer and wget both say
"File not Found" from the server. :(  Probably another proxy issue

3- QT: Error.

I guess I'll keep trying proxy's until I find one that the WM stream can
traverse.  Thanks very much for the info.
