[plug] VPN questions

[Richard Meyer]

Hi,

I've been offered a new job (woot! after 2 years, nearly), and it
requires that I can log in to the employer's network over a VPN client.
Their client runs under Windows only, and I can work.

Since I am totally out of my depth with communications, can anyone give
me the "Noddy's guide to VPN", and also how to get it (the VPN
connection) working under OFOS (Our Favourite Operating System) -
running Windows for anything but games is just TOOOO painful (and ugly).

Thanks
