> My requirements are secure point to point connecting 2 wired networks. At
this time I do not need roaming connectivity (though that may change, I
don't have a laptop). What I plan to do to accomplish this is get it
working first, then do a PPP over ssh2 (ya, 2 floppy disks <shrug>) so that
it will be somewhat resistent to sniffers. Not that I am worried where I am
yet, but, as I told a friend, we might as well do it right.
I'm looking to do this as well, but I plan on using IPSec instead of
PPP/ssh. Please be aware that a PPP/ssh link will not degrade well if you
start loosing packets...the PPP layer and the TCP layer under ssh *both* try
to account for dropped/mangled packets, and can wind up interfering with
each other in bad ways. IPSec is designed to work with 'lossy' networks,
and takes care of dropped/mangled packets cleanly. Note that as long as
your link is clean, PPP/ssh should work fine...
