Sampsa, 

Can you support another non-static IP user?

Yup, I'll send it all to you in a tar ball when I get a chance to roll the account.

  Could you let me have the bash script you use?
It'll be useful for a few things :)

 Ah right okay, I am not that familiar with VPN on Linux. I guess PTPP is a law unto
itself :)

 No idea, does it do PPTP?

 I just use pptpd in a bash loop, check if it's alive and restart it if not.

 Yup, you get a static IP on my 192.168.77.0/24 subnet, and the bridge is on that subnet
so it'll just work.

  Thanks, Sampsa :)

 Once on the VPN, I guess I can just bridge to an IP inside your DECnet LAN?

 Yeah, I've got a PPTP setup for the bridge.

 I'll set you up tomorrow and send you the details for the VPN and bridge.

  Hi,

 Judgement day came early and we switched back to residential internet and now have no
static IP BUT I'm getting a much faster line installed next week as a result so
it's all good.

 Does anyone have a VPN I could connect to in order to keep my HECnet connection up (for
me to not use, like I've been not using it since April ;) ). Winter is coming and
I'll need something to do in the evenings and weekends when it's too rainy and
cold to cycle :P

 Thanks!
