Connect to SQL Server dialog box

Does anyone know if the SQL Server connection dialog box transmit the password in clear text? I know it's hidden from display but I'm wondering what it does behind the scenes
Thanks
Ray KurpielI am studying the MCP book, and in Ch 10 (regarding SQL
authorization) it says:
The user name and password are submitted to SQL Server
2000 in clear text unless both the client and the server
Net-Libraries are using SSL encryption for the
entire session.
