Morris, you might try the Citrix client. I used it successfully for VPN access with my 8.6 machine. Mostly it's a case of figuring out the settings you need. Get friendly with a mac-centric guy in your network department.

Unfortunately, my guess is you need a matching client to the server software.

Not in a 2400C it won't... it doesn't know what an Airport card is,
especially running OS 8.6. Any OS over 8.6 doesn't work reliably with a
CardBus mod. And Airport software is not anywhere close to the same
thing as VPN. If you really need VPN software, then the university's
network admin needs to be specific about what client is compatible.

This is the quote off the Web site: A Virtual Private Network client running on your device. The University provides VPN clients for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux, but others (including users of PDAs) may have to purchase a VPN client from Movian.

I looked on the University FTP to be sure they weren't just using OS X
as a term to define "Macintosh," but they weren't lying.  There was no
VPN for download for Pre-OS X.

Then, I followed a link they had to this Movian company, but it was a
404 error.  It appears the company has changed to one called Certicom.

But the post about not needing a VPN for Netgear jogged my memory and
I actually may not need a VPN for it to work properly.  I guess I'll
find out when the time comes!  If anyone else has other information or
suggestions, please post away.

Morris
