I am looking for product recommendations and personal experiences with VPN solutions that may apply to the following problem. We have many remote users who need access to our internal network via the Internet. They have various types of connections, e.g. dial-up, cable modem, xDSL. They also use a mix of operating systems, Solaris, Linux, Windows 9x/NT. For this discussion, VPN implies that all traffic between the external host and the private network travels over a secure connection between the user's node and the VPN box. Please note we are looking for a full VPN solution. Products like Secure Shell do not meet this requirement. One requirement is that the same solution work for ALL of the above users. If the client side solution is software based, there must be clients for Solaris 2.5.1 or greater and Windows 9x/NT. (It may be too much to ask for a Linux client.) If the client side solution is hardware based, it must support both ethernet and dial-up connections. There are other features we will be evaluating. However, at the moment I am just developing a list of products to review. I would appreciate any recommendations from the list. I am especially interested in personal experience, both pro and con, with these products. Please feel free to email me directly. I will post a summary of the responses. - Paul Beltrani - [To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe firewalls" in the body of the message.]
