CVC Internet, LLC is not responsible for please contact Netscape
  (phone numbers and addresses listed below) 
for any technical problems you may experience. 

Also be aware, Netscape 6 defaults to AOL, which can cause the 
change of configurations to CVC Internet, LLC to be challenging. 
You may find the change of settings, may take more than one
time to complete. If you find this to be troublesome, you may 
want to try using Internet Explorer/Outlook Express instead.
