Good luck.  The mediacrypt web page has been offline for months.  I'd
suggest contacting MediaCrypt AG via the address given in their domain
registration.  See http://whois.domaintools.com/mediacrypt.com You
also might try contacting someone at Ascom: http://www.ascom.com

I don't know your situation, of course, but I do know that in
virtually all cases, people don't actually need IDEA, and can do just
fine without it.
