Adam,
Are you using the Smoothwall your self? What is hard to set up and has it done what
it has promised?? A friend and I are looking to get some VPN going so that we can
access
each others machine now and again. That would be great. Does it require a lot of
hardware
and a specific version of linux??
Sorry to write off the list, but this sparked my interest.
Steven
