Hi again, Thank you for your prompt response. Are you at the Technion now? I will be at the SSDL lab in about 30 mins.
I understand the process in general, but I would like your help in creating a script and a HOWTO. I tried to create a VPN "dialer" but it failed to authenticate. Another problem is the fact that the password consists of a 4d igit pre-shared secret and a 6 digit OTP... If you are at the Technion, please look me up at the SSDL lab during the day, or even better - give me a call @ 054-3056707. Thanks! .:====================================================:.
