[LARTC] Re: LARTC digest, Vol 1 #129 - 2 msgs

[xerid@adelphia.net]

Hello,
    I'm new to networking and Linux.
    I was wondering what a v35 connection was.
    Also, I want to create my own WAN using IP tunneling from my LAN to my
friends LAN (would that be considered a WAN), and I want to know if the
instructions I found in the HOW-TO will work with other systems such as FreeBSD
or Solaris.  I know it said IP-2-IP is Linux only, but do they all use GRE?  Um,
one more things.  The in the tunneling section of the HOW-TO, data encryption was
not mentioned.  I would like to encrypt the tunnel, but how?

Thank you
xerid
