All we have to fear is fear itself :-) OpenVPN is not really hard to set up - the instructions on the site are very good.

I am connecting to the Net over BT through my phone and it works real well, especially where the signal strength is good. julius _______________________________________________ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@xxxxxxxxx https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
