Good luck with it. From the name it figures that you're gonna use the PGP as the engine. As an aside, several years ago... I knew people who used 'crypto-phones'...all they did was time-slicing and basic simple scrambling. They sliced up the conversation into 1/100ths of a second and regurgitated it at the other end. A friend of mine could listen to the 'encoded' output and tell you exactly what they were saying...in real time :> I guess PGP should be better (or 1/10000 sec time slices :> ) just for interest. jRT
