Clearly openvpn is a better choice. The reason I'm not using it: false lazyness

I couldn't get openvpn to install correctly on my RH9 box, and got into
the habit of typing that really long tunnel command. (I have it memorized)

I now have RHEL4 installed, but the powers that be have promised me a 
new workstation RSN, on which I intend to install FC6. Little point in
installing openvpn now.

And please don't flame my choice(s) of distro. While we're a RH shop, using
linux on the desktop is bucking the trend.
