different positions in each, after which the SD card was convinced it was
read only after you swapped back, so you had to switch it a second time

Of course. They are extraordinarily simple to set up, and provide all the
security you need. IPSec is largely a relic...

Agreed... pity in my case both devices were behind NAT firewalls...
The situation is, apparently, rare and we evaluated the options and

OK, your machine believes you' redelberately tellig it not to write to the

How do you plug it in? Adaptor? Is there a lock switch - and if not, *was*

Does that card reader explicitly claim SDHC operation? A standard SD
reader won't see a SDHC card (and 16GB is SDHC).

Hmmm. I've not seen that happen - and I used to use PPTP a lot.
The biggest issues I used to see were ISPs dropping packets that I rather
