Hi Jeff,
I don't see how remote access VPN client can connect using MAC
addresses. MAC addresses are only useful for directly connected
networks. They're not globally routable so it doesn't matter what your
MAC address happens to be for a remote access VPN clients. Using a
so-called "transparent firewall" works on the layer 2, but I never
recommend them because they cause more problems than they fix, IMHO.
HTH,
Tom

Thanks for the reply, but I have network devices that work on
the layer 2 level, mac address only, and need a device that will forward
that traffic across the internet to other mac address only devices.
3Com NBX phones in particular.
IP can be added, but at a cost the company doesn't want to bear.
I also need the multicast feature the phones use for
conferencing, busy light, and such.
Can ISA or the device you mention VPN mac address traffic like
that?
MAC address traffic is not routable (I was told) so when we set
up our dedicated T1, so we set our routers to "Bridge Mode" to make one
flat network on the same collision space (?)
