Stan, you should re-read the thread because that comment is way off base.
If you do and understand it, you'll see that _you_ asked Ed if he can connect his
eCS to an Windows Server using PPTP and all he said was that _he_ didn't care
about connecting to Windows. He didn't say anything about what you, or anybody
else does with their computers in regards to VPN connectivity. He has a desire
to connect multiple eCS based systems regarless of what anyone else is doing.
