LOL! The datatypes.library trojan was specifically targeted at Miami
users, because its creators had a grudge against Holger Kruse.

As does MiamiDx. But the encryption used in either case is all but
useless as PAP passwords have to be sent in plain text. Snooping them is
a doddle, you don't even need a modem on the Amiga to get the password
out of either stack.
