See http://www.dd-wrt.com for more details. <snip> While on the point of the Linksys WRT54 - does it have VPN capabilities ? Sorry I should have added, with an OS/2 compatible client. The VPN implementation in the VPN-enabled builds of DD-WRT is based on OpenVPN. We have a port of OpenVPN available for OS/2 (see Hobbes), thanks to Pasha. Andy & I attempted to upgrade the OpenVPN build to a newer one, and while we did succeed, there were login issues encountered (Pasha's build works well for OS/2 <-> OS/2 connections, but not for client <-> server). Building yet a newer version led me into a brick wall, and Paul (Smedley) graciously assisted my efforts, guiding me along the way (thanks again, Paul!). Still, my building was unsuccessful. Finally, Paul built a new one, based on the 2.1 RC12 sources. The login issue persisted, but he managed to fix that for me. Unfortunately, we got stalled again with the TAP/TUN driver. Pasha's build of the driver currently only supports TAP, whereas client to site VPN implementations of OpenVPN require tunneling (TUN) functionality. Thus, which I was finally able to authenticate, I could not carry any traffic. Read more about where we left off: http://mantis.smedley.info/view.php?id=276 . So, to come back around to answer your question (and I suppose we are getting a bit far afield for this list!), we do not yet have a working SSL VPN client capable of connecting to a device running OpenVPN (such as the DD-WRT firmware or the Astaro Security Gateway). -- Lewis ------------------------------------------------------------- Lewis G Rosenthal, CNA, CLP, CLE Rosenthal & Rosenthal, LLC www.2rosenthals.com Need a managed Wi-Fi hotspot? www.hautspot.com Secure, stable, operating system www.ecomstation.com -------------------------------------------------------------
