It's a really good example, and I use it all the time when talking about this
work.
I bought some very cheap shares just before they stopped trading, because I
thought that they might get bailed out. So I get updates on where it is in
the bankruptcy process. It's still not over. The company technically still
exists. Their VPN boxes are amazingly, still in use in my town.
I want to point out that this is why we wrote Manufacturer *AUTHORIZED*
Signing Authority. We envision that this is a process that can be
outsourced, and that customers will insist that it is escowed. 25 years ago,
when I worked in one of the first firewall companies, dead 20 years now, I
regularly provided escrow tapes. It's almost never worth the customers'
money to use them, but I'm sure someone has used them.
