With. I'd like to run it all again with iftop and see what really is
the key to getting the outbound traffic I saw today. It'd be nice to
know if I really need the 'udp' and 'Target Networks' options or not.

I'll try to find out.

I run firestarter - and I turn my firewall off when I'm running these
tests so that it doesn't get in the way. 'iptables -L' shows that
there are no filtering rules at the time.

Hum. I guess there _could_ be something buried in their stuff that
says that Wymount is offlimits to outgoing VPN traffic... I'll ask.

So, does this 'prove' that the problem is not on my end? It seems like
I still don't know for sure either way.
