Yip, I brought OpenBSD CD set back in that era (2.4 release!) and asked in the order if it included the crypto lib's and got a hand written note with shipment saying exactly why they ship from Canada and no worries. Believe it was Theo who wrote that as well. This was mid/late 90's era.
Maybe I should dig that out and pop into a museum of some sorts, as a bit of history and unique.

- Zenst 5y agoExcellent suggestion and added this to favourites as a backup reminder to do this. Hopefully be going thru that cupboard before the end of the year, so will get on that then. Thank you. I do recall it was the initial release with blowfish so, that's pretty neat.
