    Fidelity is now providing investment information over the Internet.

    The Fidelity home page is in Beta test.  I'm helping a friend at
    Fidelity with it.  I don't know if it is widely available yet.

It's been in the papers, on the news, and most importantly, the URL works;
I'd call that widely available.

  I have been trying to access webxpress.fidelity.com
  and haven't been able to get to the login.

  I get the message "there was no response.  The server may 
  be down ...

  Has anybody been able to use webxpress ?  It is a secure site.
  Should I be able to get to it from within Digital.


    thanks,  Lisa

Yes and no. Yes, if you configure your browser appropriately (to use a 
security proxy), no otherwise. I think there's a note in here (or in some 
other notefile I visited in the last week :^) which lists some available 
proxies.

Running Netscape, select Options/Network Preferences. Click the radio button 
for manual configuration and click the View... button (I'm using a Mac, your 
interface may differ). The Security Proxy I'm using is:

www-proxy.das.dec.com (port 8080).

Enter the info, click a couple of OK buttons, and you should be all set.

I added the security proxy and now I am getting the message

   "... No common encryption algorithm ..."

I am using Netscape 3.0 which supports 128-bit
encryption which Fidelity requires.  They say that
Netscape v2.0 and higher supports this.

Is there any other settings anywhere?  


   thanks, lisa

 I downloaded the Gold 3.01 Netscape and then was able to
 get into Webxpress !  The problem might have been that I didn't
 have the 128-bit encryption version.  I had downloaded the 
 V3 through Digital.  When I went into About netscape, there
 was an option to download a 128 bit encryption version.  
 I hope I don't have the 90 day trial version.
