Excuse me, I meant to say a Linux vpn client solution.

yet. :-(

Subject: VPN Server
I need to set up a VPN server, so that our people can connect from
their Win2k clients at home. At this point, I'm just doing the
research, and would love to hear some ideas. I've use VPN Clients
before, but don't know much about the server side of things.
Has anyone ever done this? The VPN Howto that I found talks about
patching (which I have not done) and building (which I have done) a
new kernel, with X25 support. This howto also show setting up a
valid IP Address for people to connect from. Most of these people
are dial-up users, and I have no idea what their address will be.
There are several special purpose distro's that have support for VPN
and X25, such as SmoothWall linux. Anyone have any experience with
one of these packages?
Also, we use a SpeedStream DSL Router that lists SecureVPN as an
optional component. Might that be worth looking into?
