Re: (ASCEND) ... and VPN ?

Worked out pretty badly for us as an Ascend salesperson told us last
week that the VPN encrypted tunelling is not yet available (actually
no one was sure whether it even existed). Pretty scary since we
promised that it a customer.

They told us there might be another way to do it, but I can't imagine
how, as I can't see anything that could possibly be used to create
a P50-to-P50 tunnel in either the Pipe configuration or the wincrap
firewall manager.

HAve you had better experience?

As far as I know, none of those could be used except in their own weird
special applications. The thing is that with IOS, it's so....... simple!

interface Tunnel0
  tunnel key 12345
  tunnel source my-address
  tunnel destination your-address

And it just works!
