Re: Internet security on "hotspots"

Have her connect to a VPN that is available to her. If her company doesn't
have one available, there are many easy to implement solutions for setting
up a PPTP VPN. Then, she can connect to an insecure Wireless AP but, all of
her traffic would flow encrypted to the VPN and out to the 'net from that
remote location.
