SPECweb96 Result
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SPEC has determined that this result was not in compliance with the SPECweb96
run and reporting rules. Specifically, the result did not meet the 6 month
availability requirement in the SPECweb96 run rules due to a change in the
availability of the Netfinity Web Server Accelerator (NWSA) version 2.1.
