VPN up and running!

Zach got a VPN working on our PIX, which is really cool. In conjunction with a Novell login program for Windows, a user with a district notebook computer can now log in from anywhere on the net and have access to all the district servers. Local files, home directory, etc. Big advantage over Citrix is the local printing support. The downside is slower access to things, since it isn't just painting screens like Citrix, but it's still really cool.
I also got it working on Mac OS X, though not with the Novell client. (I'll try that next.)
