Just to give an initial heads up of a quick test since I will be out most of
the day.

It was good at the beginning, I was successfully routing over the vpn from
my house, a first without the cisco client.  This was still using the set
1500 max packet on the client. 

However upon clicking the X to close Shrew accidentally (I was thinking
minimize to systray), I have now run into a plethora of issues, some related
to Windows poor handling of network changes and some unexplained.  We
fiddled with the authentication to include Radius which may be part of it.
The good news is, up until that point it was working fine.

I will test more when I have another chance.

Thanks,
Brian
