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.

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?
