It is very easy. Open some sort of telnet session to a Unix host with
Netscape on it. Make sure the env variable DISPLAY is set to your
machine's IP address. You put your IP address followed by :0.0 eg:
setenv DISPLAY 123.45.678:0.0  will take care of that. Then just execute
netscape. Or type netscape -d 123.45.678:0.0 on the Unix command line to
execute it. If you are on a modem, prepare to wait a minute or two.
Ethernet will take a few seconds. Then you will have Netscape running.
