Ok, thanks Dave.  One of the networks I manage needs HIPAA compliancies and
althought those would be Windows clients (where the SSL appears to be available
and would meet any requirements).  It would be good for people like myself who
would also be connecting from the Slackware Linux side of things.  

As far as the sorting, I hope wxWindows isn't too much of a headache :)
