We have the list archives for that! :)

I never finished updating it, and I've archived the WIP somewhere I'm
sure. So much has changed since then that it would likely be better to
start from scratch using the comments Dave made then.

Do you have a new device to use? I'd probably have finished it some time
ago, but the Typhoon is 100 MBps w/ 3DES, which doesn't seem
particularly useful these days with Gigabit AES links out there. I'm
also not sure if they still make the cards, though you can usually find
them on eBay. Intel makes a Pro100/S that does 3DES if I recall, but
it's the same issues, and they didn't seem interested in giving out docs
to it.
