Need Netscape with 128-bit encryption!
I am using netscape3.0 on athena. When I tried to access a secured
homepage, I was told that my browser did not support the necessary
security features. Apparently, I needed a 128-bit encryption enabled
browser, but netscape on athena only supports the 40-bit key.
Contains security software from RSA Data Security, Inc.

This version supports International security with RSA Public Key Cryptography, MD2, MD5, RC2-CBC, RC4.
The above are the security features descripted in netscape's opening
screen. Why isn't the US version of netscape installed on athena? I
need the US version that supports the US security feature with *128*
bit security.
