The netscape process would come up as a child process of the inetd
service.  Therefore, the service should have interaction with desktop
enabled for you to see the netscape window.  I've added an option for that
to cygrunsrv, but inetd might not have one, so you'll have to go into the
services panel and edit the properties of the inetd service to enable
that.  Just check the "Allow service to interact with desktop" checkbox.
Hope this helps,
	Igor
