Subject: Looking for a good VPN solution
All -

I have a client who has three offices. The main one has static IP
addresses. The two others have dynamic IP addresses (RoadRunner). I need
all three to be able to access resources on each of the other networks. We
are currently using Windows 2000 PPTP tunnels and not liking it at all.

I am looking at NetGear VPN routers, but I can't get a clear answer as to
whether they would allow the two dynamically addressed sites to see each
other.

I see the $50 PCs at Discount Electronics, and I am thinking a FreeS/WAN
solution might be the way to go. However, I've never used FreeS/WAN before
and the preliminary look I've taken isn't reassuring.

Any VPN gurus out there who have done anything like this before and can make
recommendations? I need something which will be easy to set up and
maintain, which is why the NetGear solution looks pretty good.

Thanks,
Thomas
