Yes, but it's inconvient to have to dial in every 30 to 45 minutes
and get a new set of 2^29 or 2^30 keys. It be far and away better
to have the server release 2^36 or so keys at a time. That way my
'puter would be able to chug away all night, I dial up in the morning,
get a new set, it chugs, I go to work, I come back, and dial in again.
This would be especially usesfull for those who have dial-up ISP's,
and don't have unlimited usage.
Agreed, but it at least works this way. I'de rather just get a group
of keys and let the computer lose on them, but alas this isn't currently
supported.
