Netscape 4.07 under Solaris 2.6, configured to use a local proxy server
for nonlocal connections (and unfortunately some local ones as well),
still has a functioning WR. The connections to www-rf1.netscape.com
seem to be proxied, however. So netstat doesn't show any connections
to www-rf1. "Smart Browsing" is set to "After First Use."
