Of all the crazy things that were suggested, I have to say thank you to
everyone there. It gave me enough to think about, and when I got home, I
started playing with it. PoPToP is up and running (accepting connections
from Linux boxen only).
Besides, what would we have done if I hadn't brought something to poke
and prod... You're sick and didn't wanna talk anyway :)

*tsk tsk* Joe, you know all you have to do is bring your machine to the
Sarasota meeting. We will poke it and prod it and maybe even make a
joke
or two. Then we will try and show you how to set it up - probably 4
different ways. Just give us a better heads up then Craig did when he
brought his wannabe VPN server in. Man, did we come up with some crazy
stuff for him to try. *cough PPTP cough*
Where were you at tonight?
