Similar to your U80 example, I run Netscape 4.something on a 2 x Pentium
166 Linux box displayed back to my SS2 if I need a graphical web browser.
(This makes more sense than it sounds - the x86 box has a *really* poor
video card and is off elsewhere doing server duties, the SS2 is my
workstation).

It seems quite usuable - not fast, mind, but usuable, even on fairly
large docs like the Java APIs.

I had NS 3.x running under SunOS emulation on an SS2 a long time ago, which
was useful at the time, but I think the web has become much fatter since
then :(

Tim.
