Does anyone know how/if I can get the encryption software for the *export* version of SunOS 4.0? The local Sun office says no dice, but I figure Free Trade must give us Canadians *something*! Anyone at Sun listening here who might be able to help?

There's a federal law which prohibits the export of encryption devices. Robert Perlberg Dean Witter Reynolds Inc., New York phri!{dasys1 | philabs | mancol}!step!perl -- "I am not a language ...

There is a set of DES programs/subroutines on a machine in Finland which are publicly available. Try ftping to 128.59.64.40 which also has a copy of this software for public distribution (this is where I came by my copy). I do have the address of the machine in finland somewhere, if 128.59.64.40 does not have it any longer. richard .. #PS 128.59.64.40 is a machine in north america
