* This is the modus mailing list * Great question, but did anyone ever mention Challange-Response in anything about MM3?
You mention CR like it is a fact, then start asking questions about plans to offset challenge-response problems and YahooGroups etc. and potential flaws in CR. What if it does't use CR? Just curious too. :-) Cary Fitch ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ken Grimes" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, November 01, 2003 10:17 PM Subject: [Modus] When is 3.0 due out? > * This is the modus mailing list * > > While holding my breath for the November 3rd release, we have a few > questions for the beta testers if it doesn't violate their NDA's.
