[ale] Ethereal

[Terry Bailey]

Thanks, that was the problem.  I am still not sure of the following, 
however.  If SSL is used does the SSL kick in before the username and 
password are asked for.  That is, is it the case that username and 
password encrypted over The Net?  The yellow does not appear in 
Firefox until after the username and password are entered.
