You might also consider in some cases offloading the processing to an IFL or other Linux processor. Our free Co:Z toolkit makes this simple to do, and in the case of an IFL you can use clear-channel hipersockets. Here's an example: // EXEC PROC=COZPROC, // ARGS='[EMAIL PROTECTED]' //STDIN

Co:Z has a configuration option that allows you to either tunnel data connections in the original ssh connection (the default) or to use un-tunneled, clear sockets. In the latter case the data is unencrypted, which can be appropriate for secure networks. Using un-tunneled hipersockets really
