	I sincerely doubt the two work identically on a mechanical level, however if 
they are both connected to the iptables hosts with ethernet cable, the 
product should be the same.  Keep in mind that routers/switches between you 
and the internet can indeed mangle/NAT/alter/twist/bend/fold/mutilate packets 
based on their objectives.  As I've been given to understand, this can indeed 
cause havoc with VPN tunnels.  At a guess, the connecting VPN client is 
behind a NAT itself, and -THAT- appears to be the problem -- There are 
FAR more experienced VPN people on this list than I, but I believe that there 
are patches that make this possible.

	Alistair.
