And your name is not Cobalt, which is what the question asked about.  I
don't want to pay a lot of money for something that should be either
free or very low cost (because it should just be a recompilation of the
existing software).  The RaQ3 already has SSL built in and integrated
with the Cobalt interface; I don't want to mess that up (and probably
void the warrenty as far as Cobalt support is concerned) by installing
someone else's software.

With the change in US encryption law, I think Cobalt could even export
full strength SSL now, so they could just have an upgrade package that
adds 128 bit SSL.
