It's old standalone 9.1 and not a part of OSX. I'm not sure if there is a
third number as well, and I can't check right now since this is a computer
in my home, and I'm at work now. It's a Swedish language version, though.

It's "base install" Netscape, without mail, news etc. According to log
files that I can access from here it's User-Agent-string is
Mozilla/4.75C-CCK-MCD {C-UDP; EBM-APPLE} (Macintosh; U; PPC)

It's an English language version downloaded from the Internet. Don't know
if it's an "international" version w.r.t encryption key lengths etc.
I checked again with a Mac here at work, too. It's a G4 running standalone
(not OSX) MacOS S1-9.2.2 (Swedish language) and I downloaded a copy of
Netscape 7.01 (English language) for Mac PowerPC from here:
http://wp.netscape.com/download/archive.html
and it worked perfectly.
