Is this export paranoia? I understood (but I'm sure you can fill me in) that 
the "crypto" part is just an exponentiator. Can't imagine that such a simple 
piece of hardware would be export-controlled. A real pity if one of the most 
interesting features would be disabled.
Are you sure 98Q3 is the timeframe for the 134k version? A guy from Dallas at 
J1 told me it would rather be '99 before that one was finished (but, as it 
happens on busy conferences, I may have misunderstood him).
I'd be interested in a "button hacker group", although I'll probably have to 
stick to just the Java version (no time to learn the other stuff).

Probably the best way to put it :-)
