Hey, Jim and Kris,
Some sales person from Netscape called me asking about their
Directory Service offering, and in the conversation I said
"man, the migration path from NES 3.63 to iPlanet 4.x sucks ..."
and she said "oh, we've got NES 6.0 ... have you looked at it?
Check it out at enterprise.netscape.com ..." so I did.
Curiously, digging slightly deeper, I found:
$ telnet enterprise.netscape.com 80
Trying 204.29.187.30...
Connected to enterprise.aoltw.net.
Escape character is '^]'.
HEAD / HTTP/1.0
Host: enterprise.netscape.com:80
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Server: Netscape-Enterprise/6.0 AOL

Netscape-Enterprise/6.0 AOL <-- AOL?
Can my dreams be coming true? Is NES 6.0 really AOLserver
in disguise, with the traditional NES web-based GUI admin
on top of it to configure it? :-)
I mentioned this notion to the sales rep as a suggestion.
I don't think it'll go far, but that'd be cool. I've been
pushing for AOLserver to replace NES 3.63 here at my
organization for ages ... if NES 6.0 is really AOLserver
under the hood, that would rock.
Anything you guys can say about this that wouldn't get
you in trouble with your legal department? :-)
