- I think this might be a dumb question, but here goes anyway ...
-
- We have several notebook computers that we use to keep in touch with the the
- office
- when travelling, as well as being used at home "after hours". A question has
- been
- raised about logging into Banyan over a phone line. Is the password encrypted
- when
- it travels from the notebook via modem to the server? In other words, if the
- phone
- line is "tapped" (unlikely event to begin with), is the password easily
- detectable?
-
- Thanks in advance.
