Subject: (seriously) Let's round up the 56-bit browsers

A little while ago, I asked the question: which versions of which browsers will be adversely affected by
"!EXPORT56"? In other words, who will get a 40-bit connection when they expected a 56-bit connection? I haven't seen as answer yet, and I guess that's because nobody is quite sure.

So, I want to find out by experiment. To do that, I need to install as many true 56-bit browsers (NS as well as IE) as possible and try each one. The problem is to find original distributions which have not been upgraded. All our NS 4.6 export browsers, for example, claim to be 56-bit (in the "About" dialogue"), but they all step up to 128-bit connections (according to the page properties) when accessing our Apache/mod-ssl server securely. I guess they've all been "tainted" by patch upgrades.

Can you all help me to find pristine, untouched install.exes for obsolete 56-bit versions of NS and IE?
