using Microsoft clients. They may also be licensing ActiveSync for any
Nokia developed apps but that's just guesswork on my part.
Actually, it's a new MSFT technology called DirectConnect (or DirectAccess or something like that) that is basically a multi-path IPv6 IPSEC tunnel. I guess they can say "no VPN needed" because it only goes to the corp network when it needs to, but this seems to be really splitting hairs and I think of it as a VPN.
It supports multi-factor authentication (of course, this will kill the seamless nature) so I would bet this will replace the MS PPTP solution.
It requires MS Direct Connect server and something on the client end (just MS Windows, I think) for it to work. Though, if it is just IPSEC, I guess other clients could connect to it.
PPTP needs to be replaced, so this looks nice. Seeing as my company has its own VPN solution, I doubt we will be deploying this.
