"WASTE is a software product and protocol that enables secure 
distributed communication for small (on the order of 10-50 
nodes) trusted groups of users . . ."

V and CoL49 are at

in ASCII

GR and M&D are on Gnutella along with all the Residents and

Gnucleus stable is crap. The development version does work but 
install GnucDNA in systemroot and crash under Win2000 but works

A firewall, anti-virus and  a spyware scanner are essential.

The other Gnutella clients are more problematic.
