Hello Frank,

I know that this is a late response to your post, but I just got back from a "disconnected" vacation ... I'm hoping to have Iridium for next years trip to Alaska! ;-)

It's funny how the corporations trying to move into the 'net are just starting to experience and think about the things that hackers have been doing for years ...

John Walker has a wonderful web site that is at fourmilab.ch

He was a founder of Autodesk and has since moved on to a variety of other projects and software ... one of which is SpeakFreely ... a completely encrypted VoIP solution ... PC to PC.

fourmilab.ch

You can go download it (and the full source code) and enjoy encrypted phone calls ... today. Done. ;-)

There is a fairly large group of people using the product and it's been around for years!

So the solutions can be built quickly ... unless burdened by corporate red tape and paperwork ... ;-)

(P.S. Anyone else going to Telecosm?)
