That's one of the things that I thought of as well, but have ruled it out for
the following reasons:

1) Netscape 4.7 w/ 128 bit encryption was downloaded once to the fileserver,
then that file was used for install on *every* machine.

2) Using standard Netscape 4.7 on a non-masq'd connection
https://bsdnet.officedepot.com , at least just this login page, will load, but
on the masq'd remote subnet machines it stalls after the dns lookup.

All machines are using either win95 or win98, and use Netscape 4.72 w/ 128 bit
encryption for web browsing.

Thanks for the suggestion. Any other ideas?
