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.
    

I couldn't dig up the previous comments regarding openvpn on OS/2 or eCS
but I did google for it and found a statement which said that openvpn was
ported to OS/2. As Hobbes list it, it's 3 years old but here's the link:

maybe what was said regarded backward compatibility.

Thanks that looks rather interesting - it is a server and client package with a TAP driver for the server included. Whether it works with the version of OPENVPN that the WRT54G supports, remains to be seen, but for a start it looks pretty good - thanks.
