It gave me a floating point exception error and failed to start. I didn't bother trying to find out why. I downloaded and installed communicator-v4.03b8.x86-export.tar.gz and installed it and it has not given me any trouble at all. It seems they have not made this version available on the web. At least, I could not find it. You will have to go to netscape's FTP site to get this version and you will have to install it using netscape's very easy ns-install program. This is no harder than freebsd's pkg_add method. Have fun, Jason Wells
