There is not only OpenSSH in a variety of forms ... Cygwin, MinGW,
etc..., but F-Secure and others will even sell you a commercially
supported version.

We standardized on it back when I was at Disney over 3 years ago.  They
were getting rid of all rsh/rexec, ftp and other access/transfer methods
internally, as well as externally.

It is mathematically impossible for someone who makes more than you
to be anything but richer than you.  Any tax rate that penalizes them
will also penalize you similarly (to those below you, and then below
them).  Linear algebra, let alone differential calculus or even ele-
mentary concepts of limits, is mutually exclusive with US journalism.
So forget even attempting to explain how tax cuts work.  ;->
