NETSCAPE TO GET IN ON THE PHONE-BY-INTERNET ACTION Netscape co-founder Mark Andreessen says that within six months the company will build into its Navigator program voice software (which it calls Insoft) for making low-cost long distance calls via the Internet into its Navigator program and that long-distance phone companies increasingly won't be able to justify their rates for telephone service.

Any possibility that Netscape might build in some form of cryptography? I realize ITAR rules would make this problematic, but perhaps some sort of out-of-country deal for putting in the hooks for PGPhone could be done.
The internet phone software is coming from one of the companies that we are acquiring. This is one obvious application of SSL that I will be looking into after the merger is complete. --Jeff -- Jeff Weinstein - Electronic Munitions Specialist Netscape Communication Corporation jsw@netscape.com - http://home.netscape.com/people/jsw Any opinions expressed above are mine.
