Strangely enough Tom, ADSL hardware that does PPPoA is supported in 0.7. Really.
Keep in mind that 0.7 was in the works for 20+ months. A lot of stuff went into it. You'll need the Solos ADSL card. You can get it from Traverse Technologies or one of their distributors like Yawarra in Oz. As for the VPN... can't say as you've not provided enough detail. What sort of VPN is it, and what are the configuration details? Is it PPTP, L2F, L2TP, GRE, IPsec, etc. -Philip Tom Chadwin wrote: > Anyone thought about these? > > Tom > > > On Wed, Nov 11, 2009 at 10:08 AM, Tom Chadwin > <[email protected]> wrote: > >> On the same theme, two feature requests (no idea how feasible), and >> one question.
