You understand that this is only temporary solution, right ? As I suspect, PPtP is in use of ISPs only because there are still some Win95/98, that do not have L2TP support built-in, are floating around.. And once ISPs will decide that this number is small enough and almost everybody has moved to Win2k/XP, they will drop it. Of course I will use now PPtP server if Barak provides one, but the answer to my original question - "Is Linux supports connection to Israeli ISPs using L2TP" is probably "No".. :( -- ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
