For this use ZeBeDee that is a very simple FREE program
that
implements tunneling using Blowfish encryption and ZLib
compression. It makes "over the wire" Firebird connections
much faster and secure. (I'm using this in my over the
wire
connections to IB).

You can get it on:

for intranets, is there a solution? (shared intranet
without a firewall between the two sides) -- modifying
ibclient and redistributing one that supports
encryption ... is unlikely.

AFAIK, you can acomplish this by using stunnel/ssl (to
encript the IB packets).

And Zlib compression for modem connections ;->
