There's one I've heard of called PopTop that is supposed to work with Microsoft's PPTP VPN system. As for Cisco, there is the VPN client, but I don't like compiling their modules into my kernel. The one I use with the Ciscos at work is called vpnc ( http://www.unix-ag.uni-kl.de/~massar/vpnc/ ) and it works well, only requiring the tun/tap driver in the kernel. OpenVPN, while it's my favorite, is only compatible with itself. > Security is very important to roaming devices which have to go through > public infrastructures like the Internet. I agree, which is why my OpenMoKo will probably have vpnc and OpenVPN on it. -KW _______________________________________________ OpenMoko community mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
