Re: OT - VPN help

Dear Stephen,

I was happy that some stuff on VPN had come my way on this mailing list.
Assuming that you have a Cisco based network, do we infact need a Cisco
5008/or 3080 at each POP where the VPN's terminate. 

What is the minimum set of Cisco boxes you need to get a basic VPN/Dial VPN
going, which obviously could be scaled later on. Cisco docs always talk
about 7200 as a forwarding router.
