If you want a > true VPN, do not use SSH or SSL. Well, PPP can be used over an SSH tunnel. This way, you can send all IP through the encrypted tunnel. It is still a VPN, just with a different tunneling method. Personally, I've never used the PPP/SSH method. I can see that it would be good for ease of setup for simple applications, like accessing a home DSL machine. For ease of interoperability, ipsec may be a better way to go. good times, Vineet -- http://www.doorstop.net/ -- --Nick Moffitt A: No. Q: Should I include quotations after my reply?
