It's fairly configurable, supporting both DES and 3DES for confidentiality and SHA-1 and MD5 for integrity. It's about $150, or at least it was when I bought mine. I haven't gotten to use the VPN aspect of it yet, as my work vetoed non-Netscreen VPN's for tech workers. I'm waiting till OS X 10.2 comes out with native IPSec support to test it out personally, as my main away from home machine is an Apple TiBook. The model number is BEFVP41. -- Josh Little [EMAIL PROTECTED] PGP: 0x30507C93 Ars Gladii � Historical European Swordsmanship http://homepage.mac.com/lvcian/arsgladii --
