:>The IBM Internet Connection Server Secure will handle outside connections
:>in case it should be required. Unfortunately it has been developed in
:>the US, so it is only available with 40 bit keys. Hopefully they will
:>relocate development to some other, less restrictive country.

My understanding of the US export laws is that IBM could not
do this. They're still bound by the restrictions since they
are US based and/or operate in the US.

Silly, but true. Otherwise, they would be falling all over
themselves to move development to more enlightened parts
of the world.
