I'm afraid you can't do that :-(. I submitted that method of verification to the patent authorities 4 days ago, (NOT!) and subsequently posted the method on one of the PGP newsgroups. Certainly it isn't a PERFECT method - but it's probably better than e-mail, because it tends to involve a closer connection. Hmmm... Could there be a way of using a Gopher server to do this sort of thing? I see another patent coming on... -- Christopher Browne cbbrowne@csi.uottawa.ca University of Ottawa Master of System Science Program
