Peter, SSL is done 'automagically' by the browser when the HTTPS protocol is used to connect to a site instead of the HTTP protocol. Generally, 4th generation browsers (IE 4 and NN 4) have this feature. Instead of using an URL like http://...., just use https://... Of course, the server you connect to must support SSL connections. I know there are some PD SSL proxies for use on your server out there, but can't tell you more...
