I currently have no problems connecting to slashdot.org with
netscape 4.7.  Did you install from the ports or a package?
I installed from the ports collection.

I have java script turned on, as well.  I am using an old
S3/GX video card with the S3V video driver.  You might try
changing the video driver for X to see if that helps.

I do have problems with xfstt executing on my FreeBSD
server, but do not have any problems connecting to xfstt on
my Linux box.  The Linux implementation runs smoothly and
serves fonts to four machines.  The freebsd version barely
runs, cannot handle large web font files, and dies if
anyone connects to it remotely.  xfstt 1.0 runs fine on
Redhat, but dies and goes to hell on my FreeBSD box, even
though the author claims to have made improvements
specifically for FreeBSD.
