dotMac crashing Finder

I got tired of problems with Finder crashing when connected to the .Mac (dotMac) iDisk. iDisk is actually just a WebDAV server and there are a number of options for connecting besides iDisk:

• Goliath - this is an old OS9 app (available on OSX too) that acts like an FTP client app would except for WebDAV.
• Transmit - in addition to FTP, WebDAV is supported.
• cadaver - for command-line fans.
• most web-site tools (GoLive, Dreamweaver) come with fairly robust WebDAV browsers.

Your WebDAV address for your .Mac iDisk is http://idisk.mac.com/username and authenticate with your .Mac userid/password.

Also, if you're tired of paying for for .Mac, check out notMac Challenge and Joyent.
