At my last place of employment, we depended on FreeBSD based encryption routers that used a technology called "skip" to provide security between several sites in two countries (US and Canada). It worked rather well and allowed our firewalls to funtion normally. While skip, like FreeBSD, are freely available, we purchased these systems as toasters from a firm in Beaverton, OR called Silicon Forest Consultants, Inc. I am satisfied with their integration and support. If you are interested in contacting Silicon Forest, I would be glad to forward their e-mail address and telephone number. -mel lester On Mon, 4 Aug 1997, Jakob Alvermark wrote: > Hello isp'ers! > > I don't know if these questions are appropriate for this list, but I > thought it was worth a try. > > Here is the situation: > This company I work for has a couple of offices, two with internet > connection. > This two offices is situated in two different countries, Sweden and > England.
