Firewall + VPN SERVER

[WK]

I use pptp-server on debian.  It's pretty easy to install and you can 
use the pptp client come with windows to connect to it.  I heard a lot 
of good things about openvpn.  Freeswan is a little tricky to configure, 
but you should still be able to use freeswan on rogers.
