BUZZ!  Wrong!

Netscape does have a version for FreeBSD - but it is named with a secret
code so that you'd never know it!

ftp.mcom.com    (sometimes you have to control-c and do this again to
                 get through if it does not respond at first).

cd /netscape/unix

you want "netscape.i386-unknown-bsd.B10N.tar.Z"

They named it 386 so you wouldn't think it was for you :-)

They named it unknown-bsd so you'd be scared to even try to run it :-)

I am running it on FreeBSD 2.0R with XFree3.1.  It works very nicely.

good luck!
