But this is worth noting for the future. Good foresight. I don't think SSH needs factor into this at all. I remember Justin Bailey once submitted a patch to switch completely to HTTP and I very enthusiastically supported it, only to be stilled by wiser voices. Then one year later, I moved to the UK where all academic institutions are apparently behind a proxy server, and where HTTP basically just broke for me. Sure learned my lesson there! -- Eric Kow <http://www.nltg.brighton.ac.uk/home/Eric.Kow> PGP Key ID: 08AC04F9
