Lest I forget, thank you for taking an interest in this. I appreciate the guidance. (I still wear training wheels.) First (new question) - KDE includes some system reporting utilities of which I know nothing. I did find a reported number to be very curious: Digital AlphaPC 164 500 MHz running at 301.97MHz Is there any chance that KDE's processor-reporting is accurate? Is there a(n easy) way to check processor speed? Back to Netscape/X-windows fun -- I did not originally install NSCommunicator from ports (listed below). I apparently didn't try the right selection because I kept failing to install the port (details below). I did obtain communicator-v475-us.alpha-dec-osf4.0.tar directly from Netscape's site. It installed (ns-install) and started, but didn't work real well.
