I did manage to grab binaries for netscape 4.78 (?) for DEC Unix off of 
Netscape's download pages.  Search for netscape and DEC and I think you 
can find them.  Haven't tried to install yet as my upgrade to XFree86 
4.3 ran into a brick wall with the video card.  I'll look into this 
version as well.

Thanks,
Dan
