Encryption is a whole different game - i.e. you may choose to encrypt the stuff you transmit in case those nasty foreigners are clever enough to be able to listen in on your link - in fact you'd be pretty wise to.
Anyhoo, that was going back best part of a decade and I'd nearly managed to forget it all.
