[Alireza Yazdani]

Hi all,
I want to install a vpn server on linux redhat 8.
my clients have win98,winxp,win2k O.S.
what can I do?
1) is linux redhat 8 good for this job?
2) do I need to upgrade 2.4.18 kernel? what kernel you suggest?
3) what package I need to install? PPP or PPTP? what version? 
Please help me, Thanks.

Alireza, 

poptop.sourceforge.net and pptpclient.sourceforge.net both have the
information that you are looking for.  If you are running the base RH 8
kernel then they should also have the patches you need as well.

HTH,

Or http://openswan.org/.  I think the final answer is based on what the user is doing.  In my case I am stuck with PPTP because I don't control the clients (as they are clients of mine with hardware I really can't control).

We tried openvpn but ran into some issues with CERTS.  Under Openswan we never really for the l2tpd daemon running properly.  Sorry to say, pptp seems to be the only protocol that is easy for my clients to use.
