Does anyone know of a way to encrypt and decrypt LocalTalk packets?

We'd like to use Timbuktu to run the AppleShare Admin program from a 
remote site, however, we'd like to maintain security be encrpyting the
packets leaving the remote site and having them decrpyted at the server.

This way some enterprising hacker won't be able to read the packets as they
go by so that they could read the admin password.

Or, even better, could someone tell me if the packets are already 
scrambled (like it says in the log-on dialog box next to where you
type in yer password)?

Thanks oodles!
