Re: Secure Telnet Between i5's ?

[Kirk Goins <kgoins@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Just picking the last message in the thread for now to say thank you to 
everyone who has commented on my client's requirement to encrypt even 
his telnet sessions between i5s on the same network.  I will have more 
time on Wednesday to actually pursue  things like just creating a VPN 
tunnel between the systems etc. 

More new as it develops

Thanks Everyone
