RE: [Nolug] Wireless IPSEC article on NOLUG

What about poptop (or pptp) for VPN. I have a VPN running on a SuSE box
using poptop (ipsec just would not work on the win9x clients) and
working quite well, linking three remote Lans. There are certain
advantages to poptop in relation to ipsec (and viceversa). What about
some talk "ipsec vs pptp" for a nolug meeting? I also had successfully
installed swan/ipsec in the same box with predefined keys, and I think
that under Linux both can run concurrently.

Does this not provide the IPSec capability you want for on older
Windows?

"The Microsoft L2TP/IPSec VPN Client allows users to make L2TP/IPSec
connections from computers running the following:

* Windows 98 (all versions) with Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01 (or
later) and the Dial-up Networking version 1.4 Upgrade (or later).
* Windows Millennium Edition with the Virtual Private Networking
communications component and Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5 (or later).
* Windows NT Workstation 4.0 with Remote Access Service (RAS), the
