The solution to this issue is to use an older Browser.

        1) Netscape 2.0 or less is supposed to work.

                Could not try because "Netscape 2.0 for Unix" is
                    so old it doesn't seem to be available anymore.

                Netscapes Site goes back to 2.02 in an archive
                 of old stuff. Netscape 2.02 won't work.

        2) Mosaic. I got ahold of an older version of Mosaic and
                   was able to get SATAN working.

                                Thanks to All,

                                Steve
