The author of gnubox put a dialog up to choose whether or not to
enable encryption however on the Nokia 6620 port of the code it
didn't work and it only gave you an "Ok" choice.  This was a known
bug.  Having pointed out on his online forum that this otherwise
innocuous bug was causing me a problem with FreeBSD a new version 
was made available to me just now which now correctly provides a
"Yes" and "No" choice and works as expected.  So now I can have it 
either way.

I like it when a plan comes together.  :)
