FreeBSD + Rainbow Cryptoswift

[Rumen Telbizov]

Thanks Chuck,

I saw the price on the site it's $79 for the vpn1201.

Another question: 
While looking in the crypto(4) man page I saw a list 
of all the "potential" cryptographic features.
They are:
CRYPTO_DES_CBC CRYPTO_3DES_CBC CRYPTO_BLF_CBC
CRYPTO_CAST_CBC CRYPTO_SKIPJACK_CBC CRYPTO_MD5_HMAC
CRYPTO_SHA1_HMAC CRYPTO_RIPEMD160_HMAC CRYPTO_MD5_KPDK
CRYPTO_SHA1_KPDK CRYPTO_AES_CBC CRYPTO_ARC4
CRYPTO_MD5 CRYPTO_SHA1 CRK_MOD_EXP CRK_MOD_EXP_CRT
CRK_DSA_SIGN CRK_DSA_VERIFY CRK_DH_COMPUTE_KEY 

I don't see anything related to RSA computations?!
Do you see any real acceleration in the RSA operations
while using this card or there is NO support for RSA in 
the crypto device ?

Thanks in advance
