But once I got the Linux RealPlayer working (at last!), I still was unable to get the Real Player plugin configured in Netscape. Switching to the Linux version of Netscape solved that. The Linux version also has the advantage of being among the "supported", rather than "unsupported" versions of Netscape, and supports strong encryption, which is a definite must-have for me, as I'm about to switch my online banking from Quicken/Checkfree to the services offered by my bank (BankOne). No more having to boot into Windows to pay my bills. Yay! :-) Also, there are other plugins for Linux that simply aren't available for FreeBSD. -- Conrad Sabatier To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
