telnet to port 80? :) 

I'm currently building mozilla from the source I downloaded last night. 
Hopefully speed it up a tad by leaving a lot of crap out - also switching 
optimisations on. Let you know how it goes. also seeing how different it is 
with the qt instead of gtk+ libs. Speed? Look? *shrug* I'll find out.

I've never had netscape 4.6 bring X down on me. Ever. It's crashed, yes, but 
just itself...so maybe you've got a dodgy setup? :)

Chris...
ps, or rather *was* building mozilla. Seems the qt stuff isn't 
perfect...bombed out complaining about some qt stuff being too abstract or 
summat. time to make distclean and reconfig...
