Patrick,

Thanks for the pointer to pfSense.  It's running quite well and the
GUI interface is pretty nice.  The only downfall that I have run
across -- and it's a big one for me -- is that it only allows a single
PPTP VPN connection at a time.  (See
http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,1803.0.html - they mention
the "frickin" package, but the package doesn't seem to work on my
system, and the URL provided doesn't mention the package anymore...)

Since my past Linux firewalls have handled multiple PPTP tunnels fine,
is there a good Linux firewall distribution that anyone can recommend?
 Maybe I'll try to install Ubuntu server 9.04 with one of the firewall
packages...

Thanks in advance!

Dan
