Hi,
I have a job to do for a site which currently has two Debian Linux boxes connected via VPN (using ipsec) to two of its state offices.
In one state (the other state from here), this particular company is supported by a mob who don't know anything about Linux, so they wish to convert the company to Microsoft VPN and have asked me what is required on my end to make Linux support their Microsoft VPN solution their end.
The sites are connected via an ADSL link, which the debian linux box in my state handles (for dialup and connection establishment etc).
I don't mind converting the company in my state to FC1 or whatever, but I'm wondering:
* can Linux VPN support Microsoft VPN?
I never got it to work, but I didn't really try that hard.
* are there any ADSL modem/routers which support Microsoft's VPN?
My Vigor 2600 does it perfectly well. I've a permanent VPN from home to work.
Any ideas or comments are welcome.
Ask the Windows people at the other site what is required to make Windows connect to your Linux VPN (just for a laugh).
With Vigor boxes you can setup a VPN from Vigor to Vigor without requiring either Windows or Linux to be involved.
