I like to access a Linux box I call Mercury from my OS neXt box called Earth.

Mercury is defined in my hosts file with a local IP address and I telnet to it by name from Terminal.

Safari, if given a URL like ftp://Mercury/. . . . will convert to lower case mercury and look into the hosts file for that. Yes the bug was submitted several versions ago. My workaround is to make two lines in hosts, Mercury and mercury. Someday I'll try MERCURY.

Volume names are not well cased throughout the Apple environment.
