I was talking with a network engie and he told me that he already made some tests in the past with vpnc and that it doesn't work with most of the newes= t equipment that our clients use. The software tells me that it works with VPN concentrator 3000 and EasyVPN compliant equipments. I don't have, yet, details about the devices that will be used in the clien= t side but I know that we'll use RSA randomized rotative SecureID's and we'll use IPSEC. I'm not aware if this kind of auth mecanism has anything to do with the client itself. Anyway, I will give vpnc a go :) Many thanks. Regards, --=20 Alexandre Vieira - nullpt@gmail.com
