I'm getting the same experience with IE5 vs. Netscape. In fact, IE5
performs so much better than Netscape for me that I'm wishing I could get
IE5 for Linux.

Not necessarily true. I use IE5 exclusively to access Cygnus and everything
else with no problems. I use it from home under '98SE and from work under
NT4SP4. At work, all I get is a page that says that there are too many
logins.
I don't recall exactly what I get at home, but it doesn't crash.
FWIW, in my configurations, I have found Netscape to be far less stable than
IE.
