Not to rain on your parade, but Mosaic really isn't a
viable browser anymore. It's sure cool for posterity's
sake (I remember when it was the best browser
available), but that's about it.

Do you have the space/time for Mozilla? Looks like
there is a 0.9 binary package for 1.5/sparc, but the
newest one is 0.9.5 I think which is pretty nice. Will
take probably a day to compile though...
