I could be talking totally out of my *** here because I don't use PIX's, =
but
I seem to recall newer versions of the PIX software supporting MS's =
PPTP. If
that truly is the case, then MPD should work fine since it can be both a
client and a server.

This is why, for most offices, I recommend using Snapgear.com products.
They're great for offices using T3 or less, have all the firewalling you
want and no-per-user-license-fee ipsec and pptp support (although # of
tunnels are limited, but that's more a hardware-limitation thing). And
they're cheap as heck. If you're paid anything decent, the time it'll =
take
you to get this figured out will have paid for a Snapgear box twice =
over. :)

Good luck!
Brent
