[vpn] Fwd: Re: VPN question, please

[Storch, Beau]

I'm using Cisco VPN from home via AT&T Broadband and it works fine.  I did
however read an article about ISP's wanting to charge extra for VPN support.
Basically they want to gain more revenue for you using a VPN solution.
Doesn't sound fair to me.

Ryan and all,

We are using it in my area (Louisville, KY) with much success.  We have
Nortel's Contivity product (CES 2000) and most of our IS support staff who
have cable modems use the Nortel VPN client to tunnel in.

Good luck,
