If Mozilla is already up to 1.x, then it's no longer beta.  And it's
supposed to be, and so far seems to be, quite standards compliant.  And
the commercial derivative, NS6.2, appears to work fine with my RaQ3 and
RaQ4 interfaces.  So it may in fact be a local configuration issue or
that the XTR interface isn't compliant with html standards.

One issue that's bitten a lot of website developers is that NS < 6.0 and
IE < 5.5 had a lot of their own workarounds for various "stuff" left out
of earlier html standards.  So if the html code looks for browser type,
it may see mozilla, and send NS extensions rather than pure html.  NS
extensions are no longer supported in nS =>6.0 or in Mozilla.

Of course if it doesn't work, it doesn't, and the only option is to look
at it with another browser.  Or sell the RaQ.
