You need a good RSA implementation? There is one U> out there already. Why put out crap when gold is available U> and cheap? I don't think anyone has a desire to put bad things out there. My comments were assuming the real-life context of FidoNet, where we have a need to get people thinking about privacy, security, etc, and our relationships and responsibilities to each other. We *are* using PGP, which seems to be good software. Any "mediocrity" or inherent flaws I was referring to were in key systems, and suchlike. The social environment in FidoNet is completely different from here. There will never be any directed training or committees to define what a "proper" way to handle keys is, and even if there was, the newbie sysop coming online in East Overshoe Alaska wouldn't even hear about it, and would install what s/he finds available on the net. All of our social/technical systems assume this chaotic environment. It makes for some ahem interesting problems, but the robustness and growth and innovation are pretty hot. --- ReadMail * Origin: tomj(a)fidosw.fidonet.org / World Power Systems (1:125/111) -- Tom Jennings - via FidoNet node 1:125/555 UUCP - ...!uunet!hoptoad!kumr!fidogate!111!Tom.Jennings INTERNET - Tom.Jennings(a)f111.n125.z1.FIDONET.ORG

If so, take me off. << As a counter to that, would you or Perry necessarily imply that subscribing to a "KrAcKeR" magazine makes you an evil "KrAcKeR"? Anyway, if you can figure out the unix commands to navigate through your mail-box, then you should have just enough intelligence not to have jumped to any short-sided conclusions like the one you proposed above. Then again, I could be wrong.

John Gilmore writes: >The last thing PGP needs is an installed base of Mac users who are >always stuck three revs back because they forked off their own wierd >version and couldn't upgrade when the rest of us do. This was why I proposed the internal "engine" concept where I keep the machine independent code intact and the GUI seperate. At the moment, I can't think of a better idea. So perhaps you can give us some suggestions towards a solution to the problem, John!

Eric says: >In my previous post, I mentioned powering the device from DTR. DTR, >for those of you not familiar with RS-232, is a device control line >which is separately assertable. To turn the device off, toggle DTR. >Presto! No more power, no more bits. Simple, when you know what DTR >does. So far, I think this is the best idea, and after checking out my methodology and initial circuit design, I see no reason why I cannot go as high as 9600 baud. Even the more inexpensive AD converters can achieve that speed when we only want to use 8 bits. I am toying around the idea for using an 8 bit AD converter, then its just a matter of clocking them out a UART.

I agree, dealing with continious data streams might be problematic, but it was mentioned that we could use CTS/RTS or other lines on the connector to turn on and off the stream. Any comments on doing it this way?

From anthrax(a)cow.com Fri Nov 13 14:03:27 1992 Doesn't PGP violate patent laws (or surely come pretty close)? Why would you want to be associated with PGP and its use, then? Are you saying that contributing to this mailing list (let alone *subscribing* to it) necessarily implies that one is using the PGP code? If so, take me off. /jordan
