128-bit encryption to establish a secure Internet connection to the CDMA
network. (For more information, see “Data Provisioning [IOTA]” on page35.)
If you are running WindowsVista or Windows XP, your computer should already
include high-security 128-bit encryption.
If you are running Windows2000 with Internet Explorer
