I haven't heard of any lawsuits against people not on US soil, though the California lawsuit dragged in a lot of John Doe's. Also, one could argue that it has cryptographic software, and so should go into non-US. As long as you are not on US soil, and no one else who touches it is, it can probably go into non-US. They may be in trouble if they visit the US, though. It is a legal hot potato. Regards, Walter Landry [EMAIL PROTECTED]
