Hmmm.. I've not yet considered using those yet.

I'm more worried about getting wireless support working first and
foremost.  I'll play around with the neat stuff later.

Now there's a bonus.

Quite a few times.  The only problem is a lack of time setting everything
up.  I can work on WEP in a few minutes time or even via SSH and Mozilla
from work but I can't really work on FreeS/WAN - if I screw up once then
I'm locked out until I get home, and then it's just a wasted day.

I use SSH for just about everything, but not every guest does.
