Yes I have both.

This is what I get.
xervnet:~/netscape$ ldd netscape
        libm.so.4 (DLL Jump 4.5pl26) => /lib/libm.so.4.6.27
        libc.so.4 (DLL Jump 4.5pl26) => /lib/libc.so.4.7.2

also I get this when I file.
xervnet:~/netscape$ file netscape
netscape: Linux/i386 demand-paged executable (QMAGIC)

I am positive that I downloaded from the ELF directory
on Netscape's Server. version 2.02.

This is a great theory but the only problem is that my notebook only has one serial port
and it doesn't work. thats why I had to buy a costly PCMCIA Modem.
Is there a way to tell getty to listen to parallel Port ?

I guess this is my next project. I will check the gettydefs again more closely.

			Thanx

ps So far so good. All I did was upgrade the server an i haven't had a crash yet. This is the 
longest netscape hase gone with no problems
