We disagree on the meaning of the phrase "actually work".

Yes, I could. But I won't bother. :-) --Paul Hoffman, Director --VPN Consortium --------------------------------------------------------------------- The Cryptography Mailing List Unsubscribe by sending "unsubscribe cryptography" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
