Hi Norman, Setting up a L2TP/IPSec VPN is a total no brainer! All the you need to do is assign certificates to the ISA Server and the clients. No other work required! You can assign the certs using the Web interface, the MMC or via autoenrollment. What could be easier? Certainly a LOT easier than any Linux solution. Just install Cert Server on a Windows 2000 Box and let 'er rip!

THe product itself might be fine, but I'd rather work learning how to set up almost the same thing in Linux. I submit this to this list only as a suggestion (and with slight frustration) that the interface, indeed the way administration is set up needs to be changed before it will be implemented (sold) by me!! I deceided long ago to support (spelled SELL) M$ products. Except this is one that gets left on the shelf. _________________________________________________________________ Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com ------------------------------------------------------ You are currently subscribed to this ISAserver.org Discussion List as: tshinder@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send a blank email to $subst('Email.Unsub')
