Netscape Teams With HP For E-mail Support At
Telstra Big Pond

[MELBOURNE, July 31, 1998] In a significant shift away from Microsoft, Netscape
has allied with Hewlett-Packard (HP) and Cisco Systems to win a bid for infrastructure
support for Telstra Big Pond, one of the largest ISPs in Australia.

The joint contract means the three vendors will provide support for Australian
telecommunications company Telstra's Big Pond Internet and e-mail service.

Under the deal, Netscape's Mission Control, Directory Server and Messaging Server
products will provide directory, security and administration services.

The win for Netscape is surprising, given that Telstra has a long history of Microsoft
alliances, including a 40,000-seat roll-out of Internet Explorer 4.0 last year.

However, Telstra Big Pond has come under fire over the past year for one or two
embarrassing systems crashes, which were blamed by the media on Windows
NT-based mail servers.
