I stumbled accross this:
"OpenReach Honored with 2003 Network Magazine Product of the Year
Award"
at http://www.openreach.com/press/archive/20030422.html

AND found teh free software posted for immediate download here:
             
         http://www.devnets.com

No support for the free offer, but I think we could pool our resources
and form our own group. I think it is working well, but all this vpn
stuff is confusing.
