I did come across this in some doco. It's very unlikely that we'll be able to have encryption turned off as this is customers equipment. Part of the reason they are implementing this is for increased security. I'm hearing good things about people connecting to cisco VPN's from freeBSD (or ALMOST connecting) so I think I try a few things out and keep listening here incase something tips up. THnaks for the suggestion. Paul http://shopping.yahoo.com.au - Yahoo! Shopping - Get organised for Christmas early this year!
