Well, I guess you could call privacy guaranteed by strong crypto, "other interests." Seems right in the middle of what Cypherpunks are all about. If you like strong crypto, you'll love what's coming next from C2Net.
Point well taken. Most people who are in the market for a Web server, however, are cognizant of the fact that along with Netscape, Microsoft, Open Market, O'Reilly et al, Sameer has been for some time now selling a well regarded product: namely, his proprietary version of Apache. I guess my point was that, notwithstanding Sameer's estimable commercial software offerings, the *news* is that he has, to repeat myself, abandoned the anonymity business with respect to many of his traditional public Internet services. Certainly, no slight was intended. I "like strong crypto", so I naturally look forward to stuff from C2Net that, in your opinion, I'll "love." David M. Rose drose@azstarnet.com

Actually, its my proprietary version of Apache, rebadged and with some extras. My version is free. I'm pleased to hear it is "well regarded", though ;-) Cheers, Ben. -- Ben Laurie Phone: +44 (181) 994 6435 Email: ben@algroup.co.uk Freelance Consultant and Fax: +44 (181) 994 6472 Technical Director URL: http://www.algroup.co.uk/Apache-SSL A.L.
