ActiveX is pretty trivial to implement, if you know C++, and know to type: #define interface struct The COM and DCOM books describe it in sufficient detail that it can be implemented. The one caveat is that EGCS vtable support sucks. > > VPN Support > > IPsec ??? > > ISAKMP ??? These are supported via the WIDE/INRIA/LANL code, though the WIDE stuff appears more mature.

This use GRE, and is similarly trivial, although interoperability with the NT code is not, and the security sucks (open to man in the middle and replay attacks).

On the other hand, the port doesn't come with a MIB that lets you actually manage a FreeBSD box. FreeBSD boxes don't have sufficiently centralized configuration data, and what data there is is cached all over the place, instead of reacquired. Someone really ought to look into a socket implementation that binds to interfaces instead of to IP addresses (e.g. an interface-bound INADDR_ANY). Oh wait, I _am_ looking into that... ;^). > > Advanced Features > > IPv6 It was developed on FreeBSD! Yes > > I wonder why they put N/A, then. FreeBSD is not shipping it, and it is not a package.
