Not sure what the Mozilla there is (I have never really been
able to connect to ftp.alphalinux.org reliably, even when it *was* up), but I'd
just have to point out that with these projects, the latest is not always the
best option to use.  I've had some luck with an old lesstif-based (10/08/98)
release.  Cache, proxy,  bookmarks, and preferences more/less work as
advertised - though the URL bar doesn't (you have to use the menu option).
