Encryption is designed to run over insecure links such as the internet or corporate LAN. Anyone with the proper packet sniffing network tools can intercept normal traffic; encrypted traffic is more difficult to identify/decode. It's been proven that even the strongest WEP settings aren't very secure; adding anything on top of that would definitely help out...

That aside you should treat an wireless network like the Internet. Would you feel comfortable using Metaframe with its High-Encryption setting over the Internet? If not then you probably should not trust it on a wireless network either. As for the different levels of encryption that Metaframe provides I do not know what the differences are. I have used Windows NT/2000 terminal services which is based on the Citrix code (I believe?) and have had good luck tunneling it over ssh with the "High" encryption that Terminal Services provides enabled.
