I beg to differ. A. The client isn't effected by the use of MPLS. (Beyond reduce the MTU size by... 4-8 bytes?) B. PPTP is semi-OK, but L2TP? How can you compare the comfort of not having a dialer, L2TP complex dialing scripts, PPP configurations and the need to monitor the Internet connection for disconnects to having an out of the box DHCP support?!?!? As long as you have a -stable- line, DHCP is -far- better. - Gilboa ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
