Re: Can't just any old DOS 386 handle 128 bit encryption?

[Thomas Mueller]

I believe 128-bit encryption started before MSIE 5.5, and was supported by MSIE
well prior to 5.5, I can't say exactly how far back.  Netscape had both 128-bit
and 40-bit versions because of U.S. export restrictions.  But users who had the
40-bit version could fortify it for 128-bit encryption (http://www.fortify.net),
with software technology from Australia, freely downloadable, outside U.S. 
jurisdiction.  There were or are versions for Linux, OS/2 Warp, and I believe 
also Windows.

I don't know how many bits encryption are in Lynx386.  Arachne does not 
currently support https at all.
