Um, "no" and "there is one :(Copyright (c) Digital Equipment Corporation, 1991, 1995)" Each of the many Netscape or Netscape Communicator ports I tried failed, informing me that it was for i386 (BSDI, Linux and "plain"). I got the Tru64v4 tarball from Netscape. The whole and complete point to the exercise was to see if the 500 MHz Alpha could handle an inbound webcam stream better than a 300MHz Celeron and so far the answer is "nope." (At 300MHz the PC easily became CPU-bound but overclocking the celery to 450+ allows decent webcam framerate without choking. On the Alpha one live webcam video at 12fps drew 97% processor time said TOP.) > Does your /etc/resolve.conf have a blank search directive?
