If Mozilla under Unix is too slow, what about Basilisk, MacOS, and
Netscape 4.08? Has anyone tried to run it on their NetBSD machine?

Christian Bauer says in the docs that although Basilisk used 68k emulation,
on 68k chips it actually runs the code natively.

I've run it under AmigaDOS, and if I had a NetBSD Amiga with X, I'd give
it a try.
