Borge,

I need your help.  I will open my system to you, I will teach you about Hamachi and you can teach me 
about authentication in a run time world.  I cannot give you the keys in AccessD though so contact 
me off line.  Anyone else too who knows any part of this and wants to learn any part.  We will keep 
all discussions other than actual user name / passwords on this list.

Thanks,

John W. Colby
