Re: VPNs

Michael,

I have implemented a VPN with Aventail's VPN server 
http://www.aventail.com.  The server is a Micron Vetix P-Pro 200 running 
Red Hat 4.2.  There is VPN client software for Win 3.x, Win95/98, WINNT, 
and Linux that works with Aventail's server.

You can read about my implementation in Network World:
http://www.nwfusion.com/reprints/0518man.html

Unfortunately in the article there is no mention of linux being used as the 
server platform. :-(  Let me know if you're interested in this solution as I 
would be more than happy to discuss it with you in more detail.
