Wow!  Such responsiveness!  Lessee, summer is only what, three months
away?

That makes me feel much better.  Much.  And I'm CERTAIN that they'll
ensure that their new effort has open source clients that are guaranteed
to work under linux.

Is there something that OIT's many, many employees are doing that is
actually MORE important than fixing VPN access?  I'm just curious...

And you don't have to answer that.

Let me see how long it takes to set up an openssl vpn with the capacity
to handle pretty much 100% of the off-campus users -- at least to the
limits of its wire.  I'll bet it is a time measured in hours.
