There are navigators compiled for Sparc/Linux, but they don't work on
debian, and I haven't had a chance to investigate why not.

Mozilla certainly should compile - but you need to find a stable source-code
snapshot, and several hundred megabytes of disk space to compile it.  Also,
I suspect you won't find it sufficiently stable for your purposes.

Unfortunately, no other browser is even close in functionality.  Last I
checked, the closest is probably amaya, which AFAIK has the distinction of
being the only other to do frames.  The most promising is mnemonic
(www.mnemonic.org) which is close, I believe to a public release.

The w3 emacs mode is also quite good :-)
