Works even better then security cards(!) heh heh heh. Actually, this isn't a bad idea. You just need an easy way to configure the IP address, and you're up and running. :) (The only place this falls down is if the IP connection is a dial-up connection on the very computer you want to have a secure connection on. This only happens when I'm at relatives house on vacation.) Nate ps. Do you have such a floppy?
