yes, that's Gibson's "Pattern Recognition".
jaxb··on Socat: “the hard coded 1024 bit DH p parameter was not prime”

jaxb··on Soviet PCs
Please post a copy of source code (maybe a masm listing) if you still have it, along with any technical docs. Even though it's 'just another' clone, it's still worth preserving for history.
