Another possibility is to use encrypting modems, or a
serial encryptor that fits between the modem and the 
Host. Cylink offers such a beast, but they are EXPENSIVE!.
They use a configured key as a basis for one-time session
key exchange. The encryption handshake (with implied
authentication) is effectivly invisible to the host and
Dialup application.
