I'm purchasing 2 BEF SX41 Linksys VPN routers and &nbsp;would like to know if the server, running 98se, should be updated to XP in order to set up a VPN. If not how difficult will things get with the 98se OS? Very small business, 2 computers, using a satelite broadband connection wants to tunnel to home computer that operates under XP and connects through ADSL (SBC). I will be requesting a static IP addresses as soon as I arrive. I have visited the support page at Linksys and not quite sure what to think. Any help or suggestions would be very helpful.

A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. The most familiar type of routers are home and small office cable or DSL routers that simply pass data, such as web pages, email, IM, and videos between computers and the Internet. More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are typically dedicated hardware devices, use of software-based routers has grown increasingly common.
