We should be ready to get going very soon.  Clients and servers are 
working together and just need a little more testing to make sure they 
are better than perfect :-)

The protocol we're going to use is designed to be highly general and can 
be used to attempt a brute force attack on any crypto algorithm.  More on 
this later, but we've had a few thoughts...
