RE: TCP Header manipulation of the protocol field

["Rob Shein" <shoten () starpower net>]

I want to clarify something...are you checking to see if filtering is taking
place within the VPN link in ESP?  Or are you checking to see if ESP itself
is being blocked?  Because if the second is true, you're not looking to do
anything with TCP at all; ESP is a different protocol  from TCP.
