Better yet, ask them to make encryption pluggable, and ask them for sample
code for a 40 bit encryption, and make a 128 bit module for yourself.

If you can get someone in S.A. (or elsewhere) to do it, then NetScape
can work around the export restrictions (and Microsoft can't).  This
should be very desirable for them, actually.
