Dr J, I've got a client with a similar problem, and I considered this: http://www.poptop.org/ And here is an article from a fellow that incorporated this solution into his company. It is compatible with M$ based clients (2000, 98, etc), and looks solid.

Although I didn't do much. I know that's a big relief off your mind! I hope this VPN suggestion helps. :) Sorry I did'nt respond sooner; I'm experimenting with wine/sat modem drivers and right now all I have is a proxy setup rather than real NAT. I have to use a browser to wade thru the messages at present...not fun. > Thanks for any help in this regard, > drjung > Congrats!! LX __ Do you Yahoo!?

Re: [expert] VPN Client for Linux
Greetings, It is my understanding that Free/SWAN works with Checkpoint, although I personally have not used it. Check out: http://www.freeswan.org/ and there are a number of mailing lists & archives from that URL. I'm sure someone over there will be an excellent source to post this question; they will know for sure. HTH, DGO On Sunday 06 October 2002 10:57, J.

Yup - especially if you're talking with another *nix box. > Is one available, and is there some documentation on the web?

[expert] VPN Client for Linux
Looking for some suggestions: I need to access my private network at work, and I am looking for a VPN client that will work with a CheckPoint Firewall VPN on a Win2000 Server. I need to tunnel ssh through the firewall, and connect to my sparc machine (SunOS 5.9). I was given a Micro$oft VPN client made by CheckPoint (of course, with username and password) for this task but I would much prefer a Linux VPN client for the aforementioned task. Is one available, and is there some documentation on the web? I have STFW, and found some interesting reading, including freeS/WAN, but thought I might see if anyone on the expert list has some suggestions. I have access to any version of Linux for this VPN client to work on, or with. (yes, LX, this means I am back among the gainfully employed, thanks for you help too) Thanks for any help in this regard, drjung -- J.
