Dear List,

some days ago were in India and I needed to connect the customer's
computer to the Internet. They using  something like USB-dongle for
connection to the Internet. For me it was very surprising because it has
some restrictions. It was not possible to make VPN-connection from there
to my company over this dongle. In the documentation it is explicit
written, that it is not possible to do VPN connection over this dongle.
I cannot remember the name of this adapters anymore.

My question to you is: Do you have similar experiences? Can you please
explain me, what can be a reason for "hardware restriction" of
VPN-connection? It is more problem of hardware or it is a problem of ISP?

Thank you for your answers

Martin
