Well, in a mixed blessing kind of way, the Cisco router my employer bought for future use in a VPN crapped out on us the other day. An upgraded IOS introduced me to an interesting ISDN bug they have. And their last attempt involved installing an IOS still in beta testing. So I dragged a 5x86-133 into work last night and put us back on the Internet with good ol' Linux while the Cisco gets troubleshot. Looks like this box, which was the predecessor to the Cisco, got it's day in the sun again. Maybe I can keep it in place. Anyone out there experienced with setting up VPN's between Linux boxes and Cisco routers? (Running 12.0.x IOS.) Care to share the howtos and what to expect to deviate from said howtos? (Oh, and Linux scores 2 because it was the first system to impress the boss with sharing a single IP across a LAN instead of individual dialups. So 1 point for each time it's been in place.) -- Digital Wokan Tribal mage of the electronics age Guerilla Linux Warrior
