    Dont know about http ssl, but I am using the cards from Soekris for my
    backup server. As long as you use 3des for encryption, it does make a big
    difference CPU wise. The next generation cards supposedly have AES and
    public key generation, but I dont think the driver will do the public key
    stuff. The safe driver says it does, but I dont know where to get such cards.
