NetHopper is really primitive. It implements HTTP 1.0 and doesn't
send the Host header. So it just connects to the server www.unna.org
which cannot determine which virtual host you're wanting to connect
to (www.chuma.org happens to be on the same machine).

A solution is to use a proxy. If a proxy is set in NetHopper, it will
output GET http://www.unna.org/ to the proxy which will be able to
ask properly to the server.

Another solution is to connect to guelph.unna.org which isn't a
virtual host AFAIK.
