RE: Anyone know of a linux VPN server that will allow Windows cli nts to connect ?

Nothing specifically for Linux, although I believe they exist. OpenBSD (openbsd.org) has the necessary functionality built in. Alternately, let the Linux box run as a firewall, and have it port forward the necessary stuff for IPSec to a protected Win2k VPN server. --

yup, but it has to be either NT or Win2k. Run the install from the Exchange server CD, choose custom install, and just install the Admin component (and Books Online would be good to have, too). Then install the same Exchange service pack that you have on your server(s) on the machine, and you're
