  Product:           Netscape Navigator
The Netscape Navigator supports version 4 of the SOCKS protocol, as
defined by the "socks.cstc.4.1" implementation.

To set the Navigator to use SOCKS, go into the "Proxies" section of
the Netscape Preferences and enter the address and port number of your
SOCKS host.  You may need to quit and restart the Navigator after
setting this.

A limitation to watch out for in the current implementation is that
the Navigator does not understand the "@" syntax present in some SOCKS
configuration files, so make sure that your SOCKS configuration files
do not use it.
