It would operate across the web, look like a lan to us but would be isolated and encrypted and secure from the rest of the internet.
The key to doing this is to have a server that is online 24/7 which would direct the traffic. If there is some willing person who has an always online machine we can start working on this. There are issues about security, firewalls, protecting the private network of the host but all that is workable. If you have an online server available on which we could run a VPN service we could get started on this. Having a virtual LAN opens up possibilities for the LUG. There are lots of projects we could embark upon with that capability. Wayne __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
