"old" DESCHALL client still around?

I am currently working on a report on what to expect from todays
computers when being used to do a distributed DES-keysearch just like
the DESCHALL Team did.
After just finishing reading "Brute Force" by Matt Curtin, I started to
wonder, what those "old" optimized clients would perform like on todays
computers (e.g. P4 3,0GHz).
As a first test, I used the OpenSSL Implementation of DES and had it
test keys on a P4 2,4GHz - resulting in a speed of "only" 1400k keys/sec.
Looking at the data from DESCHALL, I'd guess that one might get like
10000k-15000k keys/sec on a single PC.

Does anyone here still have a copy of those old clients? If so, please
drop me a mail @ korte-deschall@et.ruhr-uni-bochum.de
