Re: [cobalt-users] RaQ3 and SSL Full Strength Sessions (128-bit)

Craig,

You can get an upgrade for the RaQ3 to full strength ssl from
http://www.brosoft.net/en

You have to upgrade your browser as well though.

Fortify for netscape is one option to get the browser to support more than
40-bit.

Best regards,
