They should try getting a more modern browser on there. If I remember correctly, while running my hand-me-down Gateway 2000 with Windows 3.11 in 1998, I managed to get Internet Explorer 3 or 4 installed after I downloaded it at a friend's house.

The goal is to add more browsers when this finally goes on the Internet Archive, yes.

Yup, Netscape 4.08 and IE 5.01 definitely ran on Win 3.11. However, almost nothing from the current web will display through these, alas.

I believe it is a current project goal for jor1k to get Firefox running.
