All of the affordable VPN end-points (Linksys, Netgear, etc) I've seen use IPSec. Beware of the ones that do claim PPTP support because that usually means they support pass-through (to _one_ internal machine). IPSec is the standard, afterall. I'm not sure why anyone (except MS) would want to support anything else. Everything has good IPSec support where only Microsoft supports PPTP. Google finds some pointers on setting up a PPTP end-point with some Cisco routers (search for "cisco pptp"). It's not clear if you can make outbound connections to a Windows VPN server, though. In the end, it may be less trouble to build your own vpn router/firewall. At least then you know its capabilities. Maybe setup your existing Debian IPSec machine to use HP's pptp-client? -- David Norris http://www.webaugur.com/dave/ ICQ - 412039
