Dave Del Torto's ISP is having trouble, so the real announcement
is sitting in a mail queue :-)
The real announcement will be posted at
http://www.freedomfighter.net/cypherpunks/2000/0115.html
when it's back up, but this is an approximation.
MAJOR THANKS TO PETER TREI OF RSA AND ALLISON BAMBURY OF LKE FOR ARRANGING
