Leon, IP-SEC -=IS=- an rfc standard. The trouble is that Micro$oft doesn't adhere to rfc's. I presume their belief is that the entire Internet and its communities exist _because_ of Micro$oft...therefore I guess it's justified in their minds when they decide to "implement" some sort of GLOBALLY-STANDARDIZED service in whatever damn way they see fit.
You want rfc-compliancy? Use a compliant OS. There are dozens of xNIX (not plugging ANYONE in particular) variants available...and I'm sure you know...a LARGE number of them are available at no cost. xNIX has been the predominant OS of scientists and researchers for decades. It's no wonder that the various distributions comply (atleast a LOT more closely) with published and established standards. (Have you ever wondered WHY the rfc's for DNS and SMTP for instance refer to BIND and SENDMAIL in the documentation??) Just my $0.02, ~Chris Moody, CCNP First off all >you have to use the M$ dial up network adapter for a vpn client and >for some reason this and cisco can't work together (funny I thought >ip-sec was an rfc standard). >Leon _________________________________________________________________ Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com
