VPNs and IPX (NetWare 3.1)

by bladedthoth . Updated 24 years, 1 month ago

I have a dilemna. I am searching a low-cost replacement for our current ISDN solution. We are thinking of DSL to connect our main office and 2 branches. We have a NewWare 3.11 server running as a central hub for all the file work (file server), We are looking to stay with Novell currently. I have read many sites on PPTP and most speak of JUST IP tunneling aspect. However, I have read a good number of sites as well that state that PPTP allows other protocols to be passed through the tunnel.

Is this true? If so, this might be the most cost-effiecient way to go about it, as since the following VPN router seems to fit our needs exactly.

$250 a router. Low-cost and looks like a good router as well.

Does PPTP support IPX tunneling as well? If not, can someone suggest another solution that would be low cost and fairly easy maintenance and set-up?

Thanks in advance
