Wasn't that patented under the name of I2CA (Infinite Impropability Compression Algorithm)... It was far to technical for me, but afaicr is uses a key with a base of 42, Or was the exponent 42. can't remember, since then too busy parking cars ;-( _______________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
