If anyone really wants a few more.

PowerBase 200 (200 MHz 603e/256K L2) 863k keys/sec
PowerBook 5300ce (117 MHz 603e/0K L2) 312k keys/sec
PowerWave 604/132 (132 MHz 604/256K L2) 699k keys/sec

What the new client really needs is a fix for the problem that you can't
drop a PPP conection and get reconnected to the key server when you
re-dial after the computation. There was some discussion of this
yesterday.

If the DESChall client could cause the automatic initiation of a PPP
connection (as most Mac clients can), the PPP controller could be set for
a 5 minute timeout to make the whole thing automatic. I do this with
email.
