What a stir VPN has caused tonight, eh? Let's remember to
play nicely with our comments.

I think Mike McSpedon's comments are pretty much on target.
I would also recommend looking at the Configuring IPSec
guide from CCO.

And Scott Morris' comments are correct; however, I think
we're all hoping to write as little off as possible. The
Jedi Master Bruce Caslow himself says that you can really
only know about 90% of any given lab exam on any given day.
So for the other 10%, you're either really good at 'making
[stuff] up', you're lucky, or it's a write-off.

Back to Doyle and Slattery/Burton...

G'night,
Scott
