[ale] unencrypted SSH

[David Corbin]

Access to my corporate network is via VPN, that I can easily get to work with 
Windows (since that's they way IT supports).  I've setup an old laptop to run 
Windows at home, and I have it run (cygwin) ssh port forwarding so that I can 
access my office system(s) from the rest of my home LAN (which is 
substantially Linux, of course).  Now that I've finally made some progress in 
replacing my office desktop with Linux, I'm sshing to a my local windows 
system to execute apps on the office system.

What this means, I think, is that my poor little "VPN relay" is having to burn 
a lot of CPU encrypting and un-encrypting stuff without cause.  One cycle of 
that is for a local LAN connection where I have complete physical security 
(my home), and the other is encrypting the port forwarding that's going over 
a VPN and thus already encrypted once.

So, is there a way to invoke SSH that will NOT do encryption of the basic data 
stream?
