The tech probably said that the SYSTEM did not support it because he does not even know what a VPN actually is.

LAME

  I'm also on a sprint EVDO card and i've used both IPSec and OpenVPN across it (to home and work).  That tech was full of shit.

    Uh...that tech is full of it. I have used VPN with various sprint data network offerings for years. Not only does it work, I'm pretty sure its *supported*.

    Why else would companies pay for Sprint Wireless dedicated data cards?

    On a different note: I prefer to use a combination of:

    1) GrandCentral phone number
    2) Gizmo SIP "Land Line"
    3) Sprint Treo 755p
    4) Unlimited Tethered Data Package (EvDO)

    With this setup, I can sit on my laptop online and receive phone calls and work via my VPN. Works great! Reasons I find this setup superior:

    1) Nothing to stick in/out of my laptop
    2) Only 1 device to carry
    3) Treo's are sweet (I watch my DVD's and MythTV via TCPMP and MythStreamTV, plus SSH client, always on IM, and of course there's Palm's very mature PDA features)
    4) Callers only ever see/use the one GrandCentral phone number which is also very convenient.

    I am using a hardware appliance (Juniper) on one end and OpenVPN on the other. As I explained to Shawn in an earlier post this week, I do the tethering via bluetooth.

    I'd recommend my setup or finding a competent tech.

      Has anyone here on the list successfully created a VPN between a Sprint
      Aircard on a portable and their cox network home IP?

      I called a Sprintard and he told me they do not support it.  When asked
      specifically if it was that the system is incapable or if they simple do
      not provide customer support for the steps, he told me the SYSTEM will
      not support it.

      A definite deal-killer for me. :'(

      In the event he was in fact correct, Any alternates?
