I have access to a homegrown proprietary VPN tool, true, but there is no reason I can think of why any third party has not created one for general use. I see a lot of need, a lot of talk, and a lot of hacking here and there, but no cohesive effort. Disappointing. And no, I don't know why the tool I use is not made available to the public. However, there ARE some VPN tools that people are using, and since we're talking IT pros, they don't seem too concerned about having to use xterm (another thing I doubt the iPhone will ever have) to utilize them. In addition, there are posts all throughout this forum of advanced users enjoying their N800s in an IT support capacity. Maybe I'm in the minority of a minority, but I challenge you: how many iPhone owners do you think are able to use the device to access work servers? My point was that you're not going to be able to use an iPhone, much less an iPod, to do these things. So I was comparing/contrasting, not getting into the minute details of what the N800 can't do well or at all. Bottom line, we are talking IT pros, not casual (or even regular business) users, and your post above seems to blue the lines...
