I know. I was hoping that I could use that as a starting point for getting a client
to talk to a server. For some reason the OS X server can't do PPTP properly (I was
told by my admin that PPTP broke when he upgraded to 10.3.4).

So, does anyone know definitively whether Win2Kpro can/can't be configured to run
L2TP/IPSec with a preshared key? If it can, how? If it can't, why not?
