Hi Ken,

Could you and/or Brice define a bit more and elaborate on the sorts of
different issues that exist for "business-to-business" and
"desktop-to-business" VPN's?
(please try to limit issues to *Linux* VPN software if possible)

I'm such an old-time/bone-head Unix user, if I see that "Free S/WAN"
is a solution (and GPL'd at that) to connect a Home (or SOHO) LAN to
a business LAN, I say: "Well, just use it on 1 machine, and there's
your 'desktop-to-business' solution"  ;-)

Feel free to email just me rather than the list if you feel I'm taking
this thread down a rat-hole!
