    Yes... I'm a linux system administrator and I do not like WinXX and
we all know why... Our clients use some services via M$ PPTP and I'm trying to
completly get rid of it, but some of them use Win9x... so I had to ask...
    I was pleasantly surprised when I found that OpenVPN runs on Win2k+.
My plans now are to test OpenVPN and see how it works (great for now about
48 hours with 0 reconnects vs MS PPTP - about 10) and then slowly migrate.
    Many thanks for the good program.
