VPNs are a separate subject altogether, but certainly something which we should discuss at warpstock (though my dance card is getting rather full). I'm knee-deep in the process of rolling out a 22-router (SonicWALL TZ170) VPN star with a Novell BorderManager 3.8 master server in the middle. I also was able to get a successful IPSec VPN tunnel set up between Novell Security Manager (really an Astaro Security Gateway with Novell's label on it) and a BorderManager 3.8 server. I'm going to be drafting an article for Novell Cool Solutions on that one soon. On a somewhat related note, I still need to test the first code drop I got from Adrian for the OS/2 IPSec VPN client. Now that I'm becoming more familiar with the technology (here's a great reference point, BTW: http://www.estoile.com/links/ipsec.htm), I'm feeling more comfortable testing such things. Cheers, and have a great 4th! -- Lewis ------------------------------------------------------------ Lewis G Rosenthal, CNA, CLP, CLE Rosenthal & Rosenthal, LLC Accountants / Network Consultants New York / Northern Virginia www.2rosenthals.com eComStation Consultants www.ecomstation.com Novell Users International www.novell.com/linux/truth Need a managed Wi-Fi hotspot? www.hautspot.com ------------------------------------------------------------
