However, it's a great possibility to advertize the Amiga in general in a joint effort from it's users. -Olli] The Bovine RC5 cracking effort (http://rc5.distributed.net) is a joint effort to crack the RSA RC5 key challenge (http://www.rsa.com) with distributed networking using spare CPU time of computers connected to the Internet. There's now also a joint effort of Amiga users to join the challenge as the "RC5 Amiga Team" in order to advertize the name "Amiga" a bit. You can join this effort, too! You just need to download the client and let it run on your machine; it will use up all spare cycles of your machine without interfering with normal operations. Clients are available for all major platforms, including Amiga, Mac (PPC and m68k), Wintel and various Unix brands. For more information about the effort, see http://homepage.cistron.nl/~ttavoly/rc5 It has all relevant information and pointers to the software. Olli
