So there *is* a BTNS implementation, after all. Albeit
only for OpenBSD -- but this means FreeBSD is next, and
Linux to follow.

Hi. I saw this message in the archive, and have not figured out how to repl=
y to that one. But I felt this knowledge needed to be spread. Maybe you can=
 post it to the list?

My friend "MC" have in fact implemented BTNS! Check this out: http://hack.o=
rg/mc/projects/btns/

I think I can speak for him and say that he would love to have that impleme=
ntation be known to the others on the list, and would love others to add to=
 his work, so we can get real network security without those spooks spoilin=
g things.
