RE: Encryption co-processor (was RE: Encryption basics)

Andy,

THANKS for this info...!

Hmmm...  I'll forward this on to the BP, and see what he finds out.

(Sure miss PCAS400, or whatever the PC Configurator was called.  I thought I
saw there was a dawg-slow Java replacement, but can't find it now.)
