Adrian, It's something we have talked about, and as you say, we interoperate with lots of the devices listed there, so there shouldn't be any technical issue. The main factors in us doing this are: 1. Time (somebody has to fill out all the paperwork to join the consortium, then set up the testing and actually do it) 2. Money (you have to pay to join the consortium) 3. Does anybody really care? Five or six years ago, VPN interoperability was pretty bad and organizations like VPNC served a real purpose. These days, there doesn't seem to be that much of a request for them. Speaking from the for-profit side of our business, I'm not very interested in investing in things that don't bring more revenue in the door as we have a lot of things on our plate already. Summary: Could we? Yes, undoubtedly. Will we? Probably not, unless somebody shows that we'll bring in more business because of the VPNC endorsement than it costs for us to get it. -- Dave _______________________________________________ Vyatta-users mailing list Vyatta-users@mailman.vyatta.com http://mailman.vyatta.com/mailman/listinfo/vyatta-users
