*SORRY*, I see you were referring to John Hemming - CEO MarketNet
<johnhemming@mkn.co.uk> and his original message of Thu, 09 May 1996
11:37:28 AM PDT, which stated that after waiting for Verisign to send
back a certificate and giving up waiting, i.e., ``I had to chase them
on the phone'' - he said that ``I have now installed a EuroSign
Certificate.''
According to http://www.EuroSign.com/, which I failed to notice when
I wrote that note, MarketNet is apparently on the same web page with
EuroSign and John Hemming <johnhemming@mkn.co.uk> also has an email
address, <JohnHemming@eurosign.com>. THAT's what you were referring
to - not my response to Mr. Hemming when Mike Bremford
<Mike.Bremford@mail.bl.uk> asked ``Can you possibly post a URL or
e-mail for this "EuroSign"?'' on Fri, 10 May 1996 10:46:23 +0100.
In all fairness, I'll assume John Hemming <JohnHemming@eurosign.com>
switched from Verisign to his own product, because even though
Verisign is more widely accepted, EuroSign still does the job.
Thanks for sharing the information, I did notice my Netscape 3.0
browser gave me a warning message about an unrecognized certificate
when entering EuroSign's secured site at http://www.EuroSign.com.
