PMFJ(B)I, but we are talking apples & oranges.

The original (changed) OT subject (as it related to OpenVPN) had to do with=
 OS/2 *remote* clients connecting to DD-WRT-powered LinkSys WRT54GL (and ot=
her OpenVPN-enabled routers/firewalls, VPN concentrators).

The thread did *not* discuss client passthrough of SSL or IPSec VPN packets=
 (and yes, all versions of DD-WRT firmware *should* pass IPSec packets if p=
assthrough is enabled, as well as SSL - the latter without requiring any co=
nfiguration changes).

So, again, we weren't discussing the ability of OpenVPN on OS/2 to handle N=
AT traversal to talk to another OS/2 machine on a remote network, but rathe=
r a single OS/2 client connecting to a WRT54G endpoint, thus extending the =
LAN via VPN to the remote client.

I hope that helps clarify the previous discussion, and perhaps we can get b=
ack on topic (for this list) sometime soon=21 :-)
