Is there a VPN technology out there that:
a) Runs on a Mac
b) Runs on Windows 98/Me/2K
c) Runs on Linux
d) Runs slightly faster than copying everything to a zip disk and
bicycling it to the other system
e) doesn't cost an arm, a leg, a half-pound of liver and a kidney?
So far I can find 'Choose any two'...
You know...if we treated house security like we're expected to treat
computer security, everyone would need 65-ton armor steel CBN resistant
time-locked vault doors on our houses keyed to our own specific DNA
sequences, passwords updated every other Tuesday...seems much simpler to
horsewhip the crackers when we catch 'em breaking in.
What we need are the electronic equivalents of my dogs..I hardly ever
lock my doors at home.
Don't need to, I have 120 aggregate pounds of carnivore with sharp teeth
and loud voices hanging out behind the doors.
