tony, the vpn config I use is: - as400 connected to ethernet lan - pix firewall and cisco routers connect the lan to the internet and frame relay cloud. - my pc is dsl connected to the internet thru a local isp. - client access is used on my pc. - vpn software called "safeNet/soft-pk" is installed on my pc SafeNet and Pix firewall are both cisco products. No config on as400 for vpn or the firewall. Only config on the as400 is an *ELAN type line. When I installed the safenet vpn software on my pc I was provided with a "security policy" to install. This policy matches up with the whatever in the pix firewall. Using my dsl line, my response time is GREAT! I was not much involved in the setup, so I dont have more I can tell you.
