The @rsa.. address bounces, the other address is still in the CC list

The correct current address for Russ is housley@vigilsec.com.  I've cc'd him
here.

So what do you want to hear?  As the RFC says, etherIP documents work that
Russ and I did at Xerox during the early 1990s.  It was developed and
deployed for use in conjunction with the Xerox Encryption Unit (XEU), a
layer 2 (Ethernet/802.3) network encryption device.  As the XEU was never a
big seller etherIP never really got "out there", either, but it certainly
worked in the environment for which it was intended.
