Thanks for the link. I loved this:"If they can pull this off, they will own the VPN market," says Eric Hindin, director of data communications at The Yankee Group, a consulting firm in Boston. Today, most policy changes have to be made on individual devices using arcane commands. No other VPN vendor is offering end-to-end policy management support today, he says. Re:yesterday action, from Briefing.com, there was speculation that Hi/Fn might be bought by Intel. I found a few tidbits on VPN stuff on the intel site. Looks like they have a "VPN" chip set that does encyrption already. This is the PR on the product: www.intel.com/pressroom/archive/releases/in011800.htm?iid=headline+000118& Some spec's: IPSec Standard (Windows* 2000) Intel© 82594ED Encryption Co-processor Encryption2 DES(56 bit) PILA8464B 3DES(168 bit) PILA8464BUS (Availability subject to export regulations) Authentication Algorithms SHA-1 MD5 Authentication Method Preshared Key Entrust/PKI* More details: www.intel.com/design/network/82559c.htm Here is a white paper on IPSec etc. www.intel.com/network/white_papers/ipsecurity/index.htm Jim
