   While we can make no guarantees that LON-CAPA will work with your particular
   Pocket Computer or PDA, you might want to try the

   We have had success with a Sharp Zaurus and <a href="http://www.bitstream.com/">ThunderHawk</a> on PocketPCs

   LON-CAPA does internal encryption of password information submitted from the

   up the login screen again.
