Hi, if I didn't have to write my thesis this summer, I'd love to participate. IMHO, TAP Support for Win95/98/Me isn't one of the features openvpn needs the most. These OS aren't supported by MS any more. For me this means, that they are insecure. And why should I permit insecure clients to connect a VPN? I think, a real tun driver for Windows is a killer feature. This would make large heterogenous VPN setups much easier, because you could provide your clients a layer-3 VPN without "losing" 2 addresses per client. just my 2 euro-cents leh
