I accidentally deleted his email before preparing this reply. To mitigate the bandwidth usage, I would like to take this opportunity to apologize for the typo in one of the integers in my original post. This is from an old FAQ. I would try the hp stuff first, then the wuarchive hpcvaaz.cv.hp.com 15.255.72.15 pub hpcvbbs.cv.hp.com 15.224.72.16 pub (readme) wuarchive.wustl.edu 128.252.135.4 /systems/hp48sx funic.funet.fi 128.214.6.100 pub/misc/hp48sx pub/misc/hp28s gmuvax2.gmu.edu 129.174.1.8 new/hp48sx I am also glad to see that when Mathematica 2.0 finally comes out it will no longer require days (if ever?) to factor the integers in question. It is still interesting to note that Mma 2.0 on multi-thousand dollar workstations still won't be much faster that a $250 pocket calculator, and for at least one integer Mma will still be slower.
