Hi, Dave

Host On Demand is an IBM product, not Netscape. I think I last saw it by
starting at http://www.ibm.com and going to their E-business or networking
site.

Personally, I think firing up Workstation Gateway or Webulator (INet) is
probably better, until IBM puts up a decent Java-based window inside a
browser. Hope, hope, hope!
