Anthony,

 of course it doesn't work for those. At least two of these don't support
JavaScript at all (iCab and Lynx). I don't know about w3m, and am willing
to guess that the current Mozilla might've shipped without JS (weren't they
in the process of completely rewriting that part of Mozilla?).

 As to Netscape 4.08, that looks really like a problem. If the pages don't
display on that, it's likely more people would have the problem. But I'd
like to do some more testing. Has Alain's site already been removed? If
not, I'd love if Anthony could ask other people he knows that have a
similar setup but a different ISP or a different setup but the same ISP to
check whether they can view the site.

 If you could get a friend with the same ISP to confirm this for you, it
could help. Alain's put a great deal of work into this page and it looks
quite good -- I'd hate to have to throw it away. Maybe we could get it to
run with a few adjustments?

 Alain, how exactly did you generate the page? Manually, with a stack, with
a Perl script ... ? Depending on what you did we might be able to 'port' it
to a different tool (such as my Elektra) which will at least rescue the
contents, and maybe even some of the design.
