Re: [BLUG] IU VPN connection on Linux

VPN for Wireless access will eventually be going away, to be replaced with the
"IU Secure" SSID. http://kb.iu.edu/data/awws.html

Currently there are live docs to set it up for Vista, XP, OS X, and iPhone.

I know they've been working on getting documentation for Linux to set this up,
but it isn't in the KB yet. The author sent me a draft, and I've pinged him to
see if I could pass it here.

IU Secure is much, much nicer than VPN. Most notably, you can change buildings
and not drop your connections.

Cheers,
Steven Black
