I think we've been over this before. It's available but unsupported, as I recall. See: sitesearch.netscape.com JMHO.

Solarix X86 version of Netscape is available for version 2.4. (goto Netscape site to check). However, it should still run on version 2.6. Netscape is the default browser included on Solaris operating systems in addition to hotjava. Plugins are a problem though. - Chung >>> Eric, I believe that the Netscape browser is only supported on Solaris/Sparc, not Solaris/X86. Plugins are quite a problem, BTW, as they work quite differently on each platform (Windows, Apple, Unix). Netscape elected to use the underlying automation method of each OS quite directly (Ole and primarly DDE on Windows, AppleEvents on Apple, and Xevents on Unix) and so plug-ins need to be re-written for each OS. It's the choice of each plugin vendor to decide whether or not to support all three platforms. <<<
