While the WRT54G as a basic network device works fine with OS/2 (I have 
been using one as my main router here for many years), my question was 
related to an OS/2 VPN client - from what Lewis says  the VPN support in 
the WRT54G (even flashed with the DD-WRT firmware) does not have an OS/2 
compatible client that is able to access the system from another 
location via the Internet.

Cheers/2
Ed.
