Can you please clarify this stmt. As far as a I know all SSH / SSL
based VPN solutions need a client, whether it be a fat client, or a
Active X  client or a Java application / applet d/l .

All SSL/SSH based VPNs do, is create a tunnel. And to create this
tunnel they need to install some kind of application on the client. A
browser by itself can not create this tunnel. Atleast not yet. Maybe
when MS want to take over the SSL VPN market, they will include that
functionality in their web bruisers.
