Stephen,
Thanks for the sites. The information is unbelievable if you are willing to spend the time to dig up information. The agent info below is old news but there are some individuals that may not know anything about the site and agent technology. Also, I believe that Penware has been discussed before. Some of the information is interesting. Especially concerning the ILPF.
Take care,
Kurt

Does anybody read any of the Chinese dialects:) This looks like an older article (Magic Cap and telescript), but if you look down the page, you also see Serengeti, then Portico, and MSFT's Outlook which indicates it may be a fairly recent article.

3. MobiNetix site d/b/a Penware, Inc. They are located in Sunnyvale and possesses two primary core competencies: data/signature capture and electronic transaction devices, and expertise in the development of application software. I don't know if they are still in business with General Magic due to the statement below about General Magic's Magic Cap (possibly Data Rover):

4. It looks as though General Magic is a member of the Internet Law and Policy Forum (ILPF) 1998 Development Committe. I didn't know it existed before today. It looks like a lot of heavy weights on this committee. Except the Warburg investment firm:)

notice the: Survey of International Electronic and Digital Signature
Initiatives.. I wonder if this could be related to MobiNetrix and GMGC in terms of the legal aspects of electronic signatures? |
