  Product:           Netscape Navigator
  Operating system:  Macintosh

When you use the Macintosh version of the Netscape Navigator 1.1 (or
1.1N) over a SLIP connection, you may experience various crashes,
hangs, and other problems.

We have released a patch for this that contains revised networking
code intended to help your SLIP connections be more stable.  It will
probably not have any effect on PPP or direct networking connections.
You can obtain the patch from this URL:

    1.1N slip patch

The patch applies only to the Netscape Navigator 1.1N (the evaluation
version) on a Macintosh.  If you have purchased version 1.1 of the
Netscape Navigator and you need this patch, then you should download
the Netscape Navigator 1.1N from netscape.1command.com and use the
evaluation version after applying the patch to it.  The reason that
the patch won't apply to version 1.1 of the Navigator is that the
patcher application checks all of the resources in the application
it´s patching, and it complains if the version string isn't "1.1N".
(Note that versions 1.1 and 1.1N of the Netscape Navigator are
completely identical except for the version number.)

To find out if your copy of the Navigator has been patched or not,
click once on the "Netscape" program icon and choose "Get Info" from
the File menu.  If the "Modified" date that appears is June 20, 1995,
then you have the patched version.

This fix will also be included in future versions of the Netscape
Navigator.
