One thing I've noticed that has helped considerable, although I currently use Mozilla nightlies more than NS, is to download and install the Java Runtime Environment from the Blackdown folks (http://www.blackdown.org). The 1.3.0 version includes the plugin for NS 4.x and I do know it works quite well with 4.75. Unfortunately, the packaging system won't let you de-install the NS java package without removing all of Communicator. Grrrr! So now I'm stuck with two versions of Java eating drive space. Hurry up Mozilla! :) - Nate >> P.S. The Blackdown JRE is supposed to work with Mozilla, but Moz pukes on it for some reason. -- Wireless | Amateur Radio Station N0NB | "None can love freedom Internet | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | heartily, but good Location | Wichita, Kansas USA EM17hs | men; the rest love not Wichita area exams; ham radio; Linux info @ | freedom, but license." http://www.qsl.net/n0nb/ | -- John Milton
