using jCVS for secure connections?

["J. Jeffrey Close" <close@halcyon.com>]

I've been told by everyone I speak to that the pserver method of CVS is
really a bad idea and not to use it.  So the question is, does jCVS have
another more secure method of connecting for remote clients?

cheers,
jeffrey

J. Jeffrey Close             I've been having to use 'vi' again 
France Telecom R&D           lately, and I just want to say that
close@halcyon.com            anyone that would use vi when they 
206-545-9360                 could use emacs is insane.
