[Alan MacKenzie]

If anyone is interested, I have been using AT&T's Global Dialer (formally
IBM Global) for over six years now with IPSec VPN.  I have used it
successfully world wide.  They have access points everywhere and no
restrictions to IPSec protocols.

For what its worth,
Alan

That may be, although I have yet to see this specified in an ISP's
agreement.  ISTM this is being tacked on.  Contracts being changed
unilaterally leads to a lack of trust and ultimately a loss of revenue.

Also fine.

What about my buddies and I who just want to have a nice little chat
about our hobbies without the possibility of anyone listening in?  This
was probably a wider use of FreeSWAN than any business use, at first.
