Server is not free. Big cooperation
needs it. It is better than Microsoft
exchange. Novel, Microsoft, and Netscape
are both in play. Netscape server is
a little cheaper than Novel's netware and
Microsoft exchange. It is very reliable.

Netscape.com (the Web asset only) value per user also pops up after the buzz it may do a deal with AOL made the rounds. Netscape also acquired Yahoo-clone NewHoo (a people-maintained Web guide). Terms undisclosed but hopefully cash for the sake of NewHoo.

Netscape (NASDAQ:NSCP - news) shares rally to close at near $40 November 18. We've long held that AOL should acquire the business-centric Netscape Netcenter Website.

We don't think AOL users are very heavy Netcenter users. And Netscape could finally step out from 'he said-she said' business model it operates under--part software firm, part content firm. Fair value for Netscape.com? We estimate $2.35 billion, in line with the search/guide group (sans Yahoo). It would give AOL the number one consolidated reach Website by far that we estimate could be about 40 million monthly users. Besides, it could be another chance to create a voice slogan "you've got Netscape," that's got to have some value itself.
