Well, here is a general paragraph that I am able to share:

"On the Blackberry, we are approving a pilot of the Blackberry Enterprise
Server.  That is a central server, associated with the Microsoft Exchange
infrastructure, to "redirect" e-mail to a Blackberry user's pager.  This
assures that the mail goes by a known path from the company to the
Blackberry service
(so we know that the e-mail is encrypted at that point).  The encryption is
end-to-end.  We are putting this in to replace a small pilot test of the
"redirector" software on individual users' desktop PCs, and we are also
planning to block web access to the URL for Blackberry e-mail to prevent
users from installing unauthorized copies of the redirector software on
their own desktops."

        Bummer in the summer!  I'd have liked to review that.  Any chance
the folks who sponsored the evaluation would care to share?

        Interesting.  How did they overcome the deficiences in the Wired
Equivalency Protocol (WEP)?  Or did they set up something outside of that?

        Best wishes.
