Firstly its a KarlBridge (no s) ;-)
Secondly the KarlBridge supports both the NCR/AT&T encryption chip AND
its own software encryption.
The KarlBridge also supports CellWave which is a reliable transport
algorithm - which will further reduce the chance of a standard WaveLAN
card (PCMCIA or ISA) being able to snoop packets !!!
