Frames and tables seem to work okay given the obvious limitations of screen 
size.  All the JavaScript I've seen seems to choke the browser pretty 
bad.  SSL works fine.  I haven't yet tried to install the add-on Java 
module, so I can't comment on it.  But otherwise it will *try* to render 
any page thrown at it, with the expected difficulties rendering wide 
pages.  I'm wondering how the Linux-based Sharp Zaurus stacks up as a PDA.

On FreeBSD, my browser of choice is Konqueror.  I know Opera has been a 
personal favorite of many on this list, but I haven't been able to get it 
to work reliably.  But I still do most of my browsing using IE6.
