    Can it be done via IP-Sec? Basically we have a machine (tripwire manager)
    that will have access to all our networks. Due to politics (gotta love
    security made insecure by politics) it must be remotely managed. The CIO
    (god bless CIO's) has decided that we will use terminal services. Is there
    a way to encrypt the traffic so it is not flying around the network in clear
    text? Would IP-Sec be the recomended solution?

    Terminal Services is encrypted from Win2k servers. You can bump it up to the
    stronger level than the default. I think the default is 40-bit keys, but it
    can be higher. It is DES and 3DES as I recall. If you look at your server
    and you look at the manager for terminal services you can set preferences
    for RDP. There you can set the encryption level.
