Hi Peter,

I haven't had that much experience with it so I would listen to Walden.

But we do use a Win2K Server VPN solution in conjunction with our MS ISA
Server firewall and haven't had any problems with as yet. It has been
running for a few months now and hasn't had any unscheduled downtime.

Hi Nathan,

I remember setting up one on WinNT4 Server; it's good to know it's available
with Win2K Pro.  Is it considered a secure solution?  Or are the other
solutions out there *more* secure?
