               I tried the beta under loser98 running on vmware on a linux
box, couldn't get it to connect, seems like Freedom thought it was going thru
a proxy server and I couldn't find a way around that. Never tried it on my
Mac's Virtual PC, but it only has DOS and w3.1.  And I can't see the point of
trying to run something you want security for on a totally insecure windoze
system anyway. Not to mention the hassle of having to fire up another OS just
to post.
               Come to think of it, what's the point of them posting source
for Freedom anyway, if it only runs on windoze and you can't figure out what
windoze is actually doing with the code? M$ has rigged most everything to pass
on ID.
