Expecting to get a recording or something of the like, I called the last of these numbers, and got a considerably agitated Herb Lennen--at home--who had already been the recipient of a call or two. He was not happy, to put it mildly! I kindly informed him that his home phone number had been posted all over the computer nets by someone posting an official ATT press release, and that the government's universal wiretap chip, er Clipper chip, was fast becoming a controversial topic. He accused me of being with an "organized hacker group," and stated that he only talks to people from news organizations of the NYT and Wall Street Journal size. I offered to send him a sample of the comments, but he declined to give me his email address. (Though I suspect that Herb_Lennen@att.com might work.) Most interesting though, he told me that John Markoff had written the definitive (and he implied positive) story on the chip. Yo John! If you are not reading the cypherpunks list for the "other side" of this story, you might want to. Keith Henson
