Has anyone successfully rin Netscape (any version about 2.0) on FreeBSD 2.1.5 or
2.2?

Netscape appears to run, but there are dozens of error messages that I get while
running it.  I realize that Netscape was created for BSDi more than FreeBSD, but
surely there's a way to run it.

I cannot stand the speed of Mosaic and other http clients that run on FreeBSD.

Please let me know.  <jflowers@maas-neotek.org>
