That version of NetScape is supposed to work on FreeBSD v2.x. There is no 
version of NetScape that runs on the v1.1.5.1 release, although some time 
ago someone posted patches to the FreeBSD kernal sources to make it work. 
I wasn't brave enough to try it and I am making do with Mosaic v2.4 
instead. I am considering upgrading to FreeBSD v2.1 when it is released 
at which point I'll try NetScape.
