RE: [newbie] VPN Client software
FWIW, A company called Netmax makes a Linux based VPN out of the box. They clain it can be up and running in about 15mins. It cost $499 :( But if you can get work to pay for it it may be worth the money.

RE: [newbie] VPN Client software
$499 would be outrageous for a VPN client... In my opinion that should be as standard as a mail and news reader that comes with your distribution, or just plain built-in kernel support that comes along with ppp and etc... -Original Message- From: Steve Gulick [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, January 17, 2001 6:05 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [newbie] VPN Client software FWIW, A company called Netmax makes a Linux based VPN out of the box.
