VPN: IPSec vs SSL

I don't know jack about squat, but my husband the network administrator says some of your SSL disadvantages are wrong. He says: You can definitely do non-web-enabled applications over SSL; an example program would be the Cisco SSL VPN, which installs an ActiveX applet that remaps network traffic over SSL regardless of port. This also allows for network drive mapping and printer mapping as well.

Interesting. That's exactly the kind of reality check I'm seeking. Thank you Clodfobble.
