We had alot of trouble with Netscape 2.01 on 9500 Macs. To fix the problem
we got MacOS 7.5.3 and installed the Open Transport and Ethernet driver
ONLY. We reduced Netscape's disk cache to 2MB and increased it's minimum
memory requirement by about 1MB. We also run Norton Disk Doctor weekly,
usually find three or four of seventeen with what NDD calls "Serious
Errors".

I suspect that Netscape plays havoc with the file system when it
crashes.  I've found up to 900 files in the cache directory. All with
cache as their first letters; I'm sure the system LOVES that.
