[KLUG Members] VPN Clients?

[Adam Elkins]

I don't think switching is an option for me, esp. to something like SuSE
or RH. That's a great thing about linux right? I shouldn't need to
switch.

I do have a smoothwall running. I may be confused about this pptp thing,
isn't that a dial-up thing? I need over Ethernet, without pppoe.

Switch to a distribution that supports pptp without having to compile a
new kernel and install new software.  SuSE 9.0 appears to be one (it
comes with a pptp client), although I've never personally tried it.

Or run a dedicated firewall (on a separate box) that supports pptp.
