Lets see, if you speak on a cell phone or transmit on the internet, consider it public knowledge :) Encryption, at a minimum, seems appropriate. About a year ago, "Andrew Hall" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, was working on a document describing his experience in encrypting the data stream with gnu's gpg. I don't recall the final status of this work. Maybe Andrew is still reading the list and can comment, or you might contact him. -- Jon H.
