Just wanted to know if Linux has some sort of vpn client connection utility like the Windows 2000 vpn connection? I dual boot my work laptop and would like to connect to my company's vpn connection with Linux instead of booting into Windows.

Thanks

To add on on to vxmine's question: Once you are VPN'd in, can you use Samba to log on to the remote W2K domain? If so, I see myself working alot more from home. Huzzah for telecommuting!
