So, just because it does strong authentication, you think that means the 
actual data is encrypted?

Given how weak the password challenge/response protocol in Windows is, 
I'd be happier tunnelling via SSH or something. You know, if I could 
actually find an SSH *server* for Windows... (Then I wouldn't need any 
extra hardware at all.)
