I don't think the bn has any advantage over the pac mate where security is
concerned when transmitting information over a public wireless network.
Don't use a public wireless network to perform banking or any other
transactions that requires the sending of sensitive information. Bn or Pac
Mate, the information sent out on such networks can be intercepted and
abused.

Subject: [Braillenote] Security on wireless networks
I was reading an article provided by the Internet Tour Bus, about the
security or lack there of, in public wireless networks, and that with the
right amount of software, someone could steal all sorts of things off your
PC. Is the braillenote susceptible to these kinds of software, or because
it is a "specialized" format is this not a problem we have to worry about,
as the software doesn't work with the Keysoft program, as I suspect they
probably don't know about it.
If that is the case, I can see a definite advantage over the Pac Mate.
