Which version of NetScape are you planning to use?  The 16-bit 
v2.02 works fine.  Just make sure virtual tcp/ip support for
DOS/Windows is enabled with the following lines in your OS/2
CONFIG.SYS:
RUN=f:\tcpip\bin\cntrl.exe
RUN=f:\tcpip\bin\vdosctl.exe
DEVICE=f:\tcpip\bin\vdostcp.vdd
DEVICE=f:\tcpip\bin\vdostcp.sys
Your AUTOEXEC.BAT for the NetScape session needs to have your 
\tcpip\dos\bin directory early in the PATH statement so the OS/2 
WINSOCK.DLL gets loaded instead of the Windows one and the "ETC" 
environment variable has to point to your \tcpip\dos\etc 
directory, which must contain a copy of your RESOLV file.
I've heard some of the Win32s versions of NetScape can be gotten 
to work but I haven't tried myself yet.
