There seems to be a fair amount of confusion over what a "SSL VPN" really
is - there are several examples of such that are true VPN clients - but
the big commercial push seems to be the ASP model - converting
*everything* to be web-delivered, and calling the resulting HTTPS site
"Thin Client SSL VPN" but in fact they mean "Web browser accessable
website with some normally non-web apps on it"
