     OAKLAND, Calif., July 14 /PRNewswire/ -- C2Net Software today announc ed

 nFast accelerator is manufactured outside of the U.S., enabling us to off er
 our world-wide customers a simple, platform-independent way to speed up s
ecure
 web server throughput," said C2Net Software president Sameer Parekh. "Man y
 will find that Stronghold's terrific out-of-the-box performance is more t han
 enough for their needs. If not, adding one or more nFast units is a fast,
 simple way to increase encryption performance as required."
     "nCipher's nFast cryptographic accelerators enhance e-commerce and on line
