In a message dated 20:44 01/01/98 EST, you wrote: > Check out <http://www.cyberpass.net/~winsock/>, for a remailer that will > run on any winsock compatible connection. I think there is a ftp site in > europe. I can't remember if it runs on NT, so check out the site. Thanks for the help - I've tried the latest version with no luck. The docs state that it works under win95 now but there are still some issues with NT 4.0 Has anyone got this to work under NT? I really want to give something back to the remailer/cypherpunk community and this is the only way I can think of. If anyone has experience of the Winsock remailer and can help...

Re: Meganet's Unbreakable Virtual Matrix Encryption Takes the Market by Storm; Finally in 1998 Absolute Security...
by jim＠mentat.com 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

IChudov relays from CNN Custom News: > Repeat/Meganet's Unbreakable Virtual Matrix Encryption Takes > the Market by Storm; Finally in 1998 Absolute Security... That reminds me... in PR Newswire on 16 Dec 1997 it was reported that IBM had endorsed Meganet's VME, and recommended that NIST replace the DES standard with it (presumably in the AES bake-off). This was humorous enough that I thought it worth sharing with IBM -- I ingenously asked them whether it was true, and, if so, how they came to the conclusion that it was a useful product. They responded: I would like to apologize for the length of time it took to reply to your message. I had to make a few phonecalls and had to wait for someone to get back to me. I spoke with a Cryptography Specialist and she informed me that IBM has, in fact, not tested their product and therefore has not endorsed it. IBM has no further comment regarding the report. I hope this helps. Thank you for using askIBM. George Lavasidis (ASKIBM(a)vnet.ibm.com) IBM Internet Support Group 1-800-IBM-4YOU I, too, have no further comment.
