The above 4 lines come from a different source than my info and in fact from a person who should be even closer to this stuff. So it looks like a LOT of ISP's are going to receive some big bills and either pay them or go broke. The prices for legal copies of Netscape are not that bad if you go to CCSWEB, Usfulware or Intercon.
