Netscape works fine for me on a current potato system:
$ dpkg --list "*communicator*" | grep "^ii"
ii  communicator-ba 4.51-1         Communicator base support for version 4.51
ii  communicator-ne 4.51-1         Communicator online help for version 4.51
ii  communicator-sm 4.51-1         Netscape Communicator 4.51 (static Motif)
$ dpkg --list "*netscape*" | grep "^ii"
ii  netscape-base-4 14             Popular World-Wide-Web browser software (bas
ii  netscape-base-4 4.51-1         4.51 base support for netscape
ii  netscape-java-4 4.51-1         Netscape Java support for version 4.51    
$ dpkg --list "*libc6*" | grep "^ii"
ii  libc6           2.1.1-1        GNU C Library: Shared libraries and timezone
ii  libc6-dbg       2.1.1-1        GNU C Library: Libraries with debugging symb
ii  libc6-dev       2.1.1-1        GNU C Library: Development libraries and hea
ii  libc6-pic       2.1.1-1        GNU C Library: PIC archive library     

I have got a problem with imp though, that I don't observe on any other
system. I shall report that on the imp mailinglist.
