Yes - try Dillo. I'm running it on an IPX and its very fast. It has its
shortcomings - no ftp/gopher/SSL/java support - but as long as you're not
trying to do secure transactions you'll be fine. I also run Phoenix
remotely: works ok - the 10Base2 Ethernet is the killer, but I'm reluctant
to spend the $$$ on a 100BaseT SBus NIC for a box with a 50Mhz CPU <"/
