Which version of Netscape are you using, does it have 128-bit
encryption, and are you going through a proxy (normal, SSL or socks)?

You can test the SSL layer of Netscape by going to:

https://www.fortify.net/sslcheck.html

When you say you can "no longer access the facility", what do you mean?

Do you get a crash?
Do you get error messages?
Do you get fluffy bunny rabbits?

Did you take a look at:

http://www.anz.com/inetbank/TSQuest4.asp

It may be a little out of date, but it seems to state that Netscape 4.7x
is fine under Windows.  It may be that Netscape/Linux's Javascript
engine is falling over (it always was cruddy), in which case it's not
ANZ's fault.

Of course, just because they don't officially support other
configurations isn't to say they won't work.

I'm sure the ACCC will just tell you to install Mozilla  :)
