    Thanks to everyone who replied. Was interesting that Netopia says they
    "dynamically scrambles and encodes keyboard and mouse data". I'm guessing
    we should not assume that to be encryption.

    I ended up looking at Microsoft's Windows Terminal Services (WTS) and
    found that it does encrypt the data using 56 or 128-bit RC4 encryption.
    And on Windows 2000 you can install WTS in "remote administration mode",
     which lets you have up to 2 simultaneous sessions without needing to
    purchase any licenses. I tried it and it seems to work pretty well. For
    more info, see:
