	IMHO, Elementrix has marked themselves as purveyors of snake
oil, smoke and mirrors, in releasing something called 'Power One Time
Pad,' apparently an autokey cipher which they claim is unbreakable.

	So, I would expect that this is more snake oil, unless
Elementrix shows otherwise.  Burden of proof is on them, if they
expect to sell product.

| 	The beta release of Personal Firewall for Windows 3.1, WFWG 3.11
| 	is available for download
| 	ftp://ftp.elementrix.co.il/pub/beta-test/pfw099.zip

| 	Your feedback will be greatly appreciated.

| Did anyone else see this?  Has anyone tried downloading it to see what
| it is and how it works?
