Hi Pete

I can't help with your question re: Checkpoint but I'm in the same
postion of having to reboot into XP for VPN remote access.

I came up with the following possibilities and have had a cursory look
at vpnc:
clive@Darius:~$ apt-cache search vpn | grep client
vpnc - Cisco-compatible VPN client
webmin-pptp-client - PPTP client configuration module for webmin

I don't particularly want to install webmin just for this functionality.

So I too would welcome feedback from someone whose using a VPN client.

Regards

Clive
