Hello,
The URL is www.mikrotik.com (sorry for not including it - I though my
signature file was turned on).
Everything (including shutdown) can be controlled remotely by telnet,
null-modem console cable, and web/java connections.
We have PPTP for encrypted tunnels on v2.2beta. No IKE/IPSEC. PPTP has
128bit encryption and the tunnel connections are simpler -- in that you
only need a login and password to start the connections. Our router has a
PPTP server and PPTP client. Tunnels can be made between routers or
between individual users (with win2000 or VPN upgrades on other windows
OSs) and the router on the protected network.
The download and commercial usage are free w/o support guaranteed.
Sincerely,
John Tully
