Thanks for the reference. However, I was very unimpressed with their price of $295 dollars. I don't doubt that there are certain organizations (banks?) which would have no problem affording them, but that's well out of the range of ordinary consumer items. I just bought a 10x CDROM drive for $100; somehow I think that a hardware RNG should cost less than that. Volume is a big issue, I suppose. Jim Bell jimbell@pacifier.com
