  30. Have you considered trying to convince your client to run some kind
  31. of secure connection, like ssh or rlogin with something like Kerberos
  32. authentication or DES encryption? Kermit will work over rlogin (though
  33. I'm not sure about encrypted rlogin sessions and/or Kerberos), and 
  34. you can tunnel other protocols through ssh. Indeed, ssh is specifically
  35. designed with encrypted connections in mind so it may be possible
  36. to convince your client that it will not compromise their firewall
  37. security -- if properly configured.
