Well, I think those last bits to the FreeBSD code should be completed in South Africa, and distributed from there :) Jordan mentioned to me that Walnut Creek is in some sort of crypto-law-exempt region or something, and FreeBSD can use full-strength crypto. Jordan, care to explain? This would be a big loss to FreeBSD if this technology goes non-exportable! > >I also agree that the lack of documentation is a huge drawback.

I'll wait for the FreeBSD port (no OpenBSD machines in use now, and I like FreeBSD better!), but I'd be happy to contribute. > >What do you recommend for FreeBSD then?
