ViaCrypt PGP will be available in the USA and Canada, for an introductory price of $100...for a single user ^^^^^^ Uu> Ok, I just spoke with Dave somebody at viacrypt, and he told me that Uu> the ViaCrypt PGP would be based on PGP 2.3a, and the only code changed Uu> would be the lines implementing rsa itself. ...

Only one question: WHY? If PGP is freeware for noncommercial single users, why on earth would anyone wish to drop $100 +/- for single-user rights to a virtually identical program? The mind boggles. I know that the principal Cypherpunks are rich, but I'm sure they could find more worthy charities than ViaCrypt...like getting me a new modem, for example... ********************************************************************* * <m..stirner@f28.n125.z1.fidonet.org> - PGP Key D30909 via servers * * > What country can preserve its liberties if its rulers are not <* * > warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit <* * > of resistance?
