Thanks. I went to Netscape's web site and my browser was identified as: 

  Netscape Navigator 4.73
  English language, [en] (X11; I; Linux 2.2.17 i686; Nav, Strong 128-Bit  Encryption

Here it is supposedly 128-bit already. I used to use the fortify
homepage's SSL check to determine my various browsers' encryption
levels. When I checked my 4.73 deb, it was reported to be 40-bit only.
Maybe fortify's ability to check the encryption level of 4.73 is a bit
off since you mentioned that fortify doesn't support netscape versions
beyond 4.72?

An idea where I might determine my browser's true encryption level?

I'd hate to go through the hassle of getting fortify to work if I've
already got a strong crypto browser.

Thanks!
