Wow, can't believe someone remembered this post! Here's what you'll
want to add to ~/.bashrc to try it:
export MOZILLA_NO_ASYNC_DNS=True
Then logout and log back in, start X, then start Netscape.
You can still use the MOZILLA_HOME variable to do whatever things you
were using it for.
For more documentation, you might try the README in the
/usr/doc/netscape-common-<version> directory. It's got some useful
information in it.
