Again AFAIK these restrictions are something to do with the level of encryption allowed to US companies for exports of software as apparently this is considered a "weapon" and thus permission of US government is needed before this can be done. BTW same is true for MS$ products. Lotus notes was one of the first products to come up with this wall put up by the National Security Agency of US. I did not think it was still applicable. I have to re-read everything I did not know about encryption. -- Sudev Barar
