: It is very easy. Open some sort of telnet session to a Unix host with

: 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.

  Ahh, then I'm not doing anything wrong, my UNIX host just
doesn't have Netscape? Maybe I have to be in the root dir or
something?
  If I find a copy of netscape and put it in my dir, would that
  work?   I'll experiment some more..thnks
