For some reason my computer does not like your web site ( requesting
security certificate). What s that all about?

Likely you do not have the signing root CA:

If you're put off by SSL, you can use plain http protocol with port
591, modifying the original URL appropriately. I usually avoid using
those URL because many anti-viruses will freak on non-standard
ports. I don't use port 80 because I put the site up for people, and
not roaming search engines, hackers, or scanning malware. It serious
cuts down on junk traffic.

Or install (if your browser acts on the headers correctly)
http://atr2.ath.cx:591/cgi-bin/importCA.cgi

CRL:
http://atr2.ath.cx:591/ssl/atr2-ca-crl.pem

Why I use my own CA as opposed to a commercial one is subject for
another thread, but mainly it's to do with the fact that I see no
security in credentials anyone is able to easily obtain.

Many places on the web you will find that use certificates signed by
authorities you don't have. When I find these, I usually examine the
certificate chain to see that it's at least properly filled out, and
the certificate matches the site in question. That's usually
sufficient for day-to-day browsing. Browsers such as Firefox will give
the user the option of looking over the certificates, before he either
accepts, accepts for the session, or declines.


Any way does this phone
connection come with a $14,000 PHONE BILL like Bit Twister mentioned in my
previous thread?

As I wrote in the paper:

"I didn't use the link much, as I'm still not sure about usage
costs. As you can't believe all you hear, I'm waiting on a bill to see
what it looks like before I use it with any frequency. If it does in
fact only use your minutes on the 1X network, that would seem to me
that you could get free 'Net when you have free time, since some plans
have free nights and weekends. Still, that seems TOO good to be true."


The "all (I) hear" part is that the 1X uses only your minutes. This
I've seen posted in numerous places, but as I indicate above, I'd
check it first (as I'm doing). The posters many have had some other
plan, or be in some other regions, or had some offer you and I
don't. In any event, if it does charge your minutes, then yes, I guess
you could figure out a way to run a $14,000 phone bill. Since I don't
know what plan you nor Bit Twister have, if any, I can't calculate how
much it would cost either one of you. Most people will probably aim
for their free time, as some plans have this. That's for the user to
work out, I just posted the setup details since what I found while
searching whilst trying to do this was fragmented in bits and pieces
on various sites or didn't work at all.
