zebedee-1.3.0.tar.gz

Zebedee is a simple program to establish an encrypted and compressed TCP/IP tunnel between two systems. This allows TCP-based traffic such as telnet, FTP and X to be protected from snooping as well as potentially gaining performance over slow networks from compression. The main goals for Zebedee are to provide full client and server functionality under both UNIX and Windows 95/98/NT, to be easy to install, use and maintain with little or no configuration required, to have a small footprint, low wire protocol overhead and give significant traffic reduction by the use of compression and to use only algorithms that are either unpatented or for which the patent has expired.
