Snipped I have RedHat 9 on each site. I could build a couple of IPCop Boxes and have them changed over if that would meet all the requirments. What's the difference?
A huge difference. IPCop is an SPI Firewall distro and the VPN config is via GUI, not some esoteric config files that IPSec experts only understand. That said, you should look at IPCop v1.4beta for your VPN, IMHO. The beta version allows for a blue interface, designated for wireless. Chuck an access point on the blue, plug in the mac address and the blue goes to red, but not green by default. For VPN, yes it is a little bit tricky with IPCop for beginners, but a damn sight better than manual config. It does a two node VPN very well. I do not have it going with more than two nodes, but did not try that hard as the GUI does not allow for that AFAIK. Remember that right stands for Red, and left for Local network, and you are set in IPCop. There is a surprising amount of support and extras for IPCop when you go looking for it. Like anything, you need to play in a LAB environment before. Ciao, Dave
