Yes, currently the CIPE TAP driver has the capability to run on NT 4, 2K, and
XP, but this first beta release of OpenVPN has only been tested on XP so far,
because that's the only windows development machine I have access to right

This has to be one of the greatest news I've had this week :-) Count me
in as a heavy beta-tester!
I have one question: If I recall correctly the cipe TAP driver works only
on NT-class Windows operating systems (NT 4, 2K, XP) and not on 9x-class
ones (9x/Me). Is this still the case?
Well some good news on the development front...
(1) OpenVPN has finally been ported to Windows.
(2) TCP protocol support has been added.
The Windows port was made possible by a number of emerging developments, most
importantly the stabilizing of the TAP driver component of the Cipe-Win32
project,
1.4.2 has been released. Details here:
