Hello
I need to open a vpn tunnel between a VPN client and a concentrator, the
problem is that the client resides on a token ring Network.
I read that token ring NIC will not be supported anymore, but I would like
to know if there is a possibility to use an ethernet-token bridge to adapt
the protocols.
My last hope is that the client has problems crating the virtual interface
on a token ring card, and I hope to overpass the problem making it to see an
ethernet card and then send the traffic over the TR network with a low MTU
value.
Another Idea Ihad is to create a PPTP tunnel and put ipsec inside it.
does anybody have tried something similar?
Thanks in advance
