3dm2 connection reset (was: 3ware 9550sx adding drives to raid)

[Randy Bush]

thanks to a whack from mike at sentex.net i stopped trying to install
the 3DM2_CLI-FreeBSD_x86-9.5.0.1.tgz monster from the 3ware site and
simply installed the port (on i386 current).

but after entering the 3ware password, my browser gets a connection reset.

i am on macos 10.5.3, with firefox2, and i did hack the all.js, though
it seemed unneeded.  java* and cookies afre enabled.
