hehe... they talk about it in a stupid way, but i can only assume that
they're trying to say that outlook 2003 offers an encrypted rpc stream
running on the web port as opposed to establishing an entire encrypted
route to the host... i suppose if you only needed your vpn for email,
this is less overhead to get that running.

if i'm wrong and they're implying that RPC over HTTP [unencrypted] is
a new and better alternative to an encrypted connection, i ... well...
i hardly know what to say.

if anybody finds out what they hell they're talking about i'd surely
like to know.

peace.
