I would echo Richard Stovall's comments. While I completely agree that (fewer components == better), I also feel PPTP is really not a good option in this day and age. The dependence on passwords for security is not acceptable to me. Nobody gains remote access to our networks without strong crypto (public keys). Windows 2000 and later include a native L2TP-over-IPsec solution. If I remember correctly it supports public keys. I've never really played with it. Here at %WORK%, we've been using OpenVPN for years. It's free, lightweight, cross-platform, and unobtrusive. It's built on top of OpenSSL, which is probabbly the most widely used SSL implementation in the world. Highly recommended. -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
