Please, use the quote indentation function of your e-mail client. You miss my point. I'm just saying that if two computers generate random numbers that match each others then they ARE NOT RANDOM. Really-lousy-pseudo-random, ok, but they CAN'T be considered random, per definition. If I say "pick a number between one and ten", and I know you will say "five" then it isn't random when you say "five". /Fredrik _______________________________________________ Sip-implementors mailing list [email protected] https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/sip-implementors
