True. Any web site that requires such an outdated web browser as Netscape 4.x is broken, as far as I'm concerned. Banks are notoriously conservative when it comes to computing, but it can't be THAT hard to keep a web site updated. Alternatively, The Mozilla based browsers (Mozilla, Firefox, Galeon, etc.) as well as Konqueror and Opera can be set to lie in their User-Agent strings, which should get you past your bank's lame browser checks. pgp0.pgp Description: signature
Netscape 4.7x, unstable and XFree4.3
Hi, I have sucessfully used Netscape Navigator 4.7x from stable in my othervise unstable installation. After upgrading unstable to XFree4.3 it removed netscape as it couldn't provide the needed dependancies. Is there any way to solve this?

One other possibility might be Opera (it can be set up to identify itself as mozilla 4.78, although the identity doesn't always guarantee it will work exactly the same.) I haven't yet tried it with XFree4.3 either.
