Hi Stan, A simple low pass filter made of 2 large inductors and a few high voltage capacitors will do the trick nicely. Which is not a slow reacting device being passive. Combine this with polyswitch style protection and some method of discharging a really high voltage to ground and it'll be even better. A very cheap design that should be in all UPS's. And is certainly a whole lot better than nothing at all for removing harzardous spikes, etc. > -----Original Message----- > From: StanSquncr [SMTP:StanSquncr@aol.com] > Sent: Thursday, March 19, 1998 4:59 PM > To: spectre(a)anthrax.net; cypherpunks(a)toad.com > Subject: Re: UPSs > > In a message dated 98-03-18 23:54:33 EST, spectre(a)anthrax.net writes: > > << ...

Thursday 3/19/98 6:58 PM John Young J Orlin Grabbe John Gilmore Here are my notes Thursday December 29, 1994 16:45 File MAD1.TXT Memorandum of Record At 16:30 I received a call from a Wayne Madsen 3911 Fairfax Square Fairfax, VA 22031 703-876-3081 3065 FAX wmadsen(a)explorer.csc.com Wayne told me he had a contract to update the Puzzle Palace first written by James Bamford. The contract is with Penguin- Viking. We talked close to 45 minutes. Wayne told he saw my name in Wirbel's EE Times articles. I gave Madsen some information about my case and where documents can be obtained in the WDC area. Madsen told me two disturbing items: 1 NSA has been inviting White House staff to NSA. NSA attempts to impress staff with NSA gadgets. 2 NSA recently invited Tom Clancy to NSA. Clancy's next novel will be about NSA. Clancy, Wayne told, me is being used as a PR man to obtain more funding for NSA. Madsen also told me that a CRYPTO-AG salesman also got arrested by the Iranians for selling them crypto devices which also sent out the key! NSA work: called Red Threads or Hidden Threads. But let us be a little suspicious. NSA is fairly good at dirty tricks. 1 Anyone know Madsen? 2 Is Madsen for real? If Madsen is for real, then let us help him with his book. Madsen recently wrote http://caq.com/CAQ/caq63/caq63madsen.html A former spook did a drive-by of 3911 Fairfax Square Fairfax, VA 22031 shortly after the phone call from Madsen The former spook phoned me again on 07:29 3/16/1998. The spook did a technical evaluation of the above address. How may tricycles, cars, shades pulled-down to see if the address was possibly a home address. The spook concluded that the above address may be a business. Lets all, of course, hope for settlement. bill

It never fails to amaze me that a person can send a letter to a politician telling them that they should shove a crowbar up a child's ass on primetime TV, and get back a reply stating that their opinion is important to the recipient. Once technology is further advanced, I am certain that we can look forward to receiving replies from world leaders which begin with, "Thank you for the DEATH THREAT!!!" ButAreYouReallySincereMonger?

NETA & exporting PGP

March 20, 1998 Export Law Tested by Sale of Privacy Software SAN FRANCISCO -- An American maker of data-scrambling software said Thursday that it would circumvent U.S. export policies by allowing its Dutch subsidiary to begin selling an international version of Pretty Good Privacy, a strong encryption program that does not provide a back door for law enforcement surveillance. Because the company, Network Associates, is the nation's largest independent maker of computer security software, its action could have a serious effect on U.S. export policies on software. Network Associates' decision to sell a program specifically prohibited by the Commerce Department comes at a time when the Clinton administration is already fighting congressional attempts to end export controls on encryption software for fear that such restrictions will hurt the ability of American industry to compete internationally.
