Greetings fellow list members.  I am a relatively recent
            subscriber to the list, and have learned quite a few things
            from everyone.  I am not visually impaired myself, however I
            work with someone who is, and that is the subject of my
            message.  The company that I work at uses Netscape Navigator
            3.0 (no that's not a mistake) for internet access, and also
            for the company intranet.  My department - I work in a phone
            center - puts its reference info on "call guides" that we
            access via Netscape.  My co-worker is using a downloadable
            version of it right now, because it is easier for her to
            access it in that manner.  Everything is text-based.

            The major problem is that we use a lot of ebedded text
            links, and obviously my coworker cannot always access all
            the links.  The solution we've come up with so far is to
            delineate the parameters of each link with asterisks.  No,
            it's not very elegant, and I'm wondering if there's
            something better that we can do.  In searching various
            websites I have found that most accessibility solutions
            involve Internet Explorer.  Unfortunately this is not an
            option for us because IE does not interact well with certain
            programs we use and will cause them to crash.  Basically
            what I'm looking for is if there is some sort of
            Netscape-compatible plug-in, or an HTML coding solution that
            we can use.  I'm still searching myself but would like to
            solicit the comments of list members on this subject too.

            Any help, comments and suggestions you have are much
            appreciated, and you may either post or send me e-mail
            directly - my address is listed at the end of this message.
            Thanks in advance.

            Peter Stockschlaeder
