I thought Netscape Security Solutions had been around for awhile now.

Does AOL still use Netscape's building then?

I know they shut the company down, but I guess AOL builds their portal now [how do people even find it w/o the netscape isp?]...

Are their server solutions still being actively developed? They wasted so much on Netscape when they could of kept it around as a browser and other services if they wanted to.

I wonder if AOL never bought them, where they would be now.

Not exactly sure, AOL still owns the "Netscape" brand name.
It was said that the old Netscape office space were donated to Mozilla Foundations. I have no insider information.

They've never shut the company down. They only stopped the development of Netscape browsers. Netscape Networks have been working well still, a great portal page.

This thread, "Netscape is Dead", is started by one of the Mozilla die-hard supporter (and loathe Netscape) from Mozilla Zine. He couldn't help not to bash Netscape any less.

In my opinion, Netscape Communications (company) might have been dead completely. I don't think Netscape Communications had enough resource and money to fight against the software giant Microsoft?

IT Doesn't work in my area
I went on the http://join.netscape.ca
site and put in my area, then a tel. # appeared and I called. Just a lot of ringing and nothing but noisy static...

Hi Lorraine

Well... if it is anything like Pacifier's Accelerated dial-up service, it really isn't worth the money. I tried theirs for free for a few days and what I found was, in order to render the pages quickly and "make you think" or give you the illusion that the pages were appearing as though by high-speed, they compromise on graphics. You can crank up the speed or slow it down depending upon how many pixels you'll tolerate in your graphics. Since I like clear images... sharp images... I simply dumped it. But for those who don't care that much, it might be a cheap man's high speed, relatively speaking.
