Here is my rumor. On the new beta "My Netscape" there are several default stock quotes. One is ATT. So, is ATT going to buy Netscape to better compete with AOL??? Netscape needs to be an ISP in order to knock down AOL.

Netscape Teams With HP For E-mail Support At Telstra Big Pond By Gerard Knapp Internetnews.com [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. internetnews.com
