Very interesting...
Anyone notice that the second, fifth, nineth, twelfth, sixteenth,
eighteenth, twentyth, twenty-third letter and twentyseventh are always
capital... Here are some L\P's.

trivia, but i still felt like posting it:
Removing the reversed-'netscreen'-without-the-'e's i.e. the
"n.....r.....c....s.....t.....n", we end up with a 25 octet string, which
means 128 bits, which **strongly** suggests an MD5 hash.
Of course, I am not a netscreen user, so for all i know, their user manual
already tells you that they use MD5 hash :) but I doubt that, seeing their
juvenile "ubertrick" to mask the length of the hash.
