>The drawbacks of basic + SSL are the export/patent hassles of SSL and >the overhead of SSL. For example, if I set up my Corporate Technical Memory document submission process to require SSL, it would (at least technically) be illegal for French TCE employees to submit documents, as they would be encrypted en-route and there is no general license to use SSL granted by the French government. This would be inside the TCE WAN -- not even out on the Internet. ====================================================================== Mark Leighton Fisher Thomson Consumer Electronics fisherm@indy.tce.com Indianapolis, IN
