Dman - it can be accessed from anywhere on earth or in space if you have a connection and a website address. Dman - that is the wonder of the internet - you can go anywhere in the world anytime and meet anybody; usually it is more difficult to get into communist countries; but there is communication instantly almost everywhere if you know where to look. Surf other places besides this thread Dman and explore, it is a wonder out there; good luck :) Jacalyn

Some more Firecrest history. Jeff << Netex And Mondex Enter Alliance To Deliver Integrated Smart Card Solutions Across The Net 6 Aug 96 6th August 1996 - Netex Communications Corporation - a Firecrest Group Plc subsidiary - and Mondex International Limited, today signed a strategic alliance agreement that will enable the delivery of global smart card applications using the Internet Transphone product. Under the agreement, Netex will develop, integrate and market the 'Transphone' smart card based solutions through Netex's current and developing corporate client base and the Mondex groundbreaking electronic cash products. Mondex International has now been established as an independent payments organisation (announced 18th July 1996). Mondex International is owned by 17 major organisations across four continents (North America, Asia, Australasia and Europe). The new organisation headquartered in London, will be responsible for managing the future development and international implementation of Mondex. Mondex is being introduced as a global alternative to notes and coins. It can be used for everyday shopping as well as for monetary transactions between banks, customers and businesses. Today's agreement means that Mondex will become the electronic cash system to be used with Netex's Transphone. The Transphone innovation has significant benefits, including increased consumer convenience, reduced handling costs, shorter purchase lines and better protection against losses due to fraud. Working with leading retail partners already on-line, Transphone looks set to make the integrated solutions available world-wide to Internet retailers and consumers. In addition to the core Transphone product software, Netex will provide business consulting, integration and implementation services to assist users in planning, developing and deploying payment solutions that meet the specific requirements of their business or home Internet markets. "Mondex expects to derive significant benefits from this alliance with Netex," said Michael Keegan, Chief Executive Officer, Mondex International. "Netex presence in the new media marketplace and expertise in delivering bespoke integrated solutions through Transphone will open up new opportunities for clients to benefit from Mondex's proven smart card technology." According to Gary Trowsdale, Netex Communications Corp, "Mondex is rapidly establishing itself as the industry leader in electronic cash. By including this leading- edge technology within our groundbreaking retail product, Netex can influence, develop and service an entirely new cashless society on-Iine."

Mondex is a more efficient alternative to physical notes and coins for use in everyday shopping and as a future payment mechanism in a wide variety of areas such as the Internet and 'pay-per-view' TV.
