There are IPSec clients that run on XP that will connect to the LinkSys and
similar VPN boxes from Netgear and others.  As a general rule, no Windows

many ways for worms to access the Microsoft virus, Windows with a direct
connection.

men who want rain without thunder and lightning.  They want the ocean
without the roar of its many waters.
