Rowan, Thanks for your reply. I'm OK with the concepts you mentioned, it's the Linux "How-To" that I'm missing. The home Linux box in question dual boots W2K, and I can VPN in to the server when booted into W2K just fine. The published Linux How-Tos regarding VPN's and Masquerading give a detailed background into the concepts, and that's OK. But what I need is an implementation guide written for CIOs, not CTOs or network engineers. I guess I'm truly surprised that such a guide doesn't exist. With the increase in WAN networking, telecommuting, and Linux devotes interest in weaning users away from Microsoft, I would think that a good migration plan would be to enable users to migrate to Linux on their desktops, while their employers can continue to wring maximum value out of their $$$ investment in Windows server licenses, Exchange CALs, etc. In other words, it always seemed to me that it would be easier to migrate the desktops to Linux first as these get replaced or upgraded more frequently, and then migrate the servers later, after the investment in MS licensing has been fully amortized. So, if I can get this thing working, and if the implementation guide I mentioned doesn't exist, I'd be happy to document what I've done and write my own How-To. Can anybody help? Thanks!
