Hi Esther, Actually the Tunnelblick application is the one recommended by our sys admins. It doesn't seem to be accessible with vo, however that could be down to my profound ignorance rather than anything else.
When launched, the application seems to put an icon into the status menu near where the clock resides. However, VO doesn't seem to see it there. I'm continuing to play with it to see if it can be customised to put the icon in the doc, but I'm not optimistic. We'll know if the installation has worked if this mail gets through I guess. *smile* Thanks for the information.
