Or Win 2K Pro workstation using IPsec connection to a Win 2k server that running IPsec as a VPN solution.SSL is provided to a WEB site by a vendor like Verisign and allows a browser like IE to connect to the WEB site using a SSL connection session. Like you doing a bank transaction with your bank that has a Web Banking Service site.  SSL solution from a secuirty company like Verisign cost a pretty penny and are not cheap like $1,000(s) of dollars, in some cases $100(s) for cheap vendor.I hear you can crack WEP. You most likely can do the same with WAP too but it may be a lot harder.You may be able to get two workstations into a VPN session using IPsec = search Google.Duane :)
