We are having problems with netscape (anything newer than version 4.7) 
and mozilla and how they work with the built-in video cards of our NCD 
Explora 701 thinclient terminals. I thought it was a memory issue 
because they have 16 megs of ram in them out of the box, but I have been 
working with a upgraded terminal that has 96 megs of ram in it. This 
doesn't make a difference. It still takes the program window for mozilla 
or netscape more than a minute to refresh when accessed from the thin 
client terminals. I've heard firebird with be pretty light on the system 
resources, so that is a possibility, and having had a lot of problems 
with opera that is out of the question. How about Konqueror is it pretty 
stable and compatible with most websites? the video cards on these thin 
clients are set to 8 bit color.

We need a mail client and a web browser that is graphical enough for the 
average user to be able to use, and relatively trouble free.

Any suggestions?
