RE: Mark Callow's comments in V6 #1 about not using Ethernet in a
hospital because of possible legal problems in using a probabilistic
algorithm.

There would seem to be a fairly quick come-back that the defense
lawyer could make:

Hard disks use Hamming codes (CRC checks) to maintain data
consistiancy.  Since there are undetectable errors every billion or
so transactions, then hospitals should not use disks because they
occasionally pass undetected bad data. Fooey!
