766: The router to the outside world was an OpenBSD 2.3 box. It was involved
767: in a "capture the flag" competition in which an entire room of crackers
768: attempted to break into it and machines running other operating systems.
769: The OpenBSD box was not broken into.

771: Almost 100 OpenBSD 2.3 CDROMs were sold (we ran out again). The primates
772: at <a href=http://www.monkey.org>monkey.org</a> brought 2.3
