I have never done it myself, but you can take the knoppix cd and add your own software too it, then "remake" the knoppix cd. My question is if there is a vpn client for linux that will connect to your MS VPN. --- Sean Flynn <sflynn@flynnsplaza.com> wrote:
I apologize if this has already been discussed, but after some cursory googling and searching I haven't found an answer yet.
I am the "computer guy" for our heating oil company. The heating oil software is running on a SCO box, and everyone in the office connects to it over our Windows network. After hours people need to connect to the SCO box to check customer information. Currently they do it through their own windoze PCs with their own high speed internet, or through a company laptop through dial up.
Using their own high speed access makes things much quicker and we have subsidized access for some of the people. But since it is windows, their PCs are often screwed up, and I get many after hours calls saying, "I can't connect to the VPN or I can't connect to the Internet".
I have played with Knoppix and absolutely love how it can recognize hardware, and I have installed Suse on a home system to play with for myself, but I have little knowledge of Linux.
Is their a live CD like Knoppix that has microsoft VPN support, that the remote users can pop it in their system, restart, connect to the microsft VPN and open a terminal window to the SCO box?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks
