I'm afraid that I can't say this is a good replacement to Wippien - although I have yet to try a game on it (Mal and I attempted to start one up... but seemingly could not see each other's games... so we'll need to work on at least trying
one game

) just as a quick once over it takes more effort to setup (a big negative when you consider how difficult it was to convince some people to move to Wippien), it is more complicated to start and shutdown, and it has no chat. I think that trifecta really seals the deal, and it's time to look at another VPN, even if the connection
might be wonderful on this one. I took a look at Cisco from my Dad's xp running comp, and as a heads up it appears that it is completely barebones (at least for xp): no chat, no saving login info, and no way of even seeing who is on. Incidentally, Hamachi released a new client called Hamachi[sup]2[/sup] which as a commercial version can hold some 256 clients on one network. Sadly, the non commercial license is still 16 clients tops... so I think that will still be a no go. Also, Hamachi still doesn't automatically set up the metric like Wippien does now (although it does have less connection problems I seem to recall).
