Hey Balazz.....answer a Cisco Question for me.

on my quick referenc guide.
the regular IOS just supports IP.
So they recommend upgrading software.
Wondering if the software is enough, or do we need switches/conversion type boxes in the background to do the conversion.
He is running some contivity boxes that are doing the conversion right now...but will the Cisco + IOS IP/IPX allow IPX to move over the network, or does he need more contivity boxes.
Thanks man.

As a side note, I just set up ssh port redirection to give me an encrypted ppp channel into a remote CVS server. It's really slick.
I like it more than running gre packets back and forth with a pptp server.
You can't tunnel other protocols within ssh though can you? I've done some total nerd stuff...encapsulating ppp within gre tunnels for ppp multilink and such. Good times...good times.

fucking hate... and I mean HATE, CVS.
piece of crap.
Really? I like it. Subversion is (potentially) even better...http://subversion.tigris.org/
I like the idea of "concurrent" programming...the Eclipse CVS plug-in is decent; the merge tool is a bit lacking, but overall, very nicely integrated with cvs.
Yah, see I normally pump PPP through a GRE tunnel to a PPTP server, but I don't find it to be the "easiest" way to do things. You can use ssh's port forwarding mechanisms to pump any protocol at all through an encrypted ssh connection.
On host A I do:
ssh w.x.y.z -L 6000:192.168.1.2:80
Which will take connections connecting on the localhost at port 6000, send them (encrypted) to w.x.y.z (host B) and forward them to 192.168.1.2:80.
So, then, I could do this on host A:
lynx localhost:6000
and I then have set up a secured connection to my internal web server.
Slick eh?

I dunno, maybe it was the version that I was using. I had to use it at my last job and it was jsut fucking horrible.
my main problem was with, as you mentioned, the merge tool. It merged shit when you didn't want it to (which costed us TONS of backlogged hours) and it never merged shit when you wanted it to.
again, mayhaps it was the version we were using. I didn't stick around that place long tho.
