Subject says it all. Anybody know when Java Applet support will
appear in Netscape for Digital UNIX (OSF/1) or BSDI?

Presumably when someone at Sun does the port -- I don't believe that
Netscape is attempting to do any Java ports (Java is not easy to port
because of the sophisticated multithreading it requires).

Does this mean no Java for Linux?

Unfortunately, yes.
