Yes indeed, but how are we ever going to standardize?
The U.S. is not the only country with restrictive laws about encryption tech.
Unless of course the encryption is so weak as to be useless.
The net result is that we all have to re-invent wheels that have
little or no change of ever interworking. I've hacked encryption
back into telnet, but with all the previous TELOPT_ENCRYPTION code
removed I'm 101% sure my implementation is incompatible... (so I used
a different option number).

Anyone know how IPng are tackling this?
Or is everyone hoping the Phil Zimmerman case and the RSA T-shirt will
force a change to the laws?
