Thanks craig, I knew that, but I've been using pptp so long as my vpn that I think of them interchangably. I need to learn about some of the other ways of 'doing' vpn, but my vpn server at work (for now) only set up to do pptp. I downloaded tarball for a pptp package last night, easy to install, hard to configure, never got it working. So my next question...when I install a package like that using make, do I need to now uninstall if I'm not going to use? Or can I just delete that directory and all. do you recommend a particular pptp package for rh8? phil >>Message: 2 >>From: "Phil Lewis" <phil@harbornet.com> >>To: <psyche-list@redhat.com> >>Subject: VPN >>Date: Wed, 16 Oct 2002 22:33:09 -0700 >>Reply-To: psyche-list@redhat.com >> >>How do I create a VPN "dialer," connectoid, whatever in linux...
