Publishing specs really can't put you out of FCC regulations. Some devices have to be made tamper-resistant against casual attackers. Going from spec -> to driver -> through kernel -> controlled by userland application is not considered a "casual" attack and is significantly more involved then "tampering". Unless of course your device is clearly over-engineered for its stated purpose, and it intended, but veiled, purpose was the phreak community to begin with. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. bss@iguanasuicide.net ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.net/ \_/
