If frames are used for navigation, I generally recommend the no-frames version include key navigational links or a link to a sitemap. That way users can navigate the site. I also recommend placing minimal navigation within content pages because people may choose to exit frames mode (I know I do). If the frames are used for other purposes, that's obviously another issue. I would research "no script" strategies since they might have better ideas.
