[vpn] vpn question

[Tina Bird]

I feel obliged to point out that the totally
rockin' InfoExpress solution runs on a variety
of UNIX boxes, not just Windows systems.  The
server, that is; clients are available for 
various Win flavors, Linux, Solaris, and sometimes
Machintoshes.

The main win in my book for their product is that
it's >not< IPsec -- which is often a problematic
set of protocols for remote access VPN users.  It's
TCP-based and really easy to use inside a firewalled
or NAT'ted environment.
