    I'm currently using Safe Passage (see http://www.vastrange.com) for
    both my VPN from home to work (and work to home). It uses SSH to
    tunnel my traffic through my SSH server at work (and I'm running open
    SSH at home so I can get stuff off of my desktop at home).

    Seems like SSH would be a great way to secure wireless connections
    too. Does this kind of thing solve the supposed wireless security
    problem? Or is it something else?
