VPNs on Mac OS9 or OSX?

Posted by Cliff on Wednesday June 13, 2001 @02:24AM from the choosing-the-right-software dept.

$hy_guy asks: "I hope you guys can give me a hand here. I wanted to purchase a new Power Book but I want to be able to still connect to my office via a VPN connection. I am not going into why I'm going to purchase a Power Book but I'm looking for some solutions. Is there anything available for OS9 or OSX, I would assume that there would be a better possiblitiy with OSX. I also rather not run a Windows emulator within OS9 or OSX to do this."

I've never tried it but at my work they distribute TunnelBuilder to Mac users who want to VPN. It runs on OS 9 - I don't know what the OS X status is.
As always, a simple Google search turns up plenty of alternatives. (Ashley Laurent, IntraPort, a Cisco OS X client.) As frequently happens, it doesn't seem like the questioner did the slightest homework before coming here.

Unsettling MOTD at my ISP.
