   I haven't gotten there just yet, but in the reading I've been doing...

1. Does the ISDN router do packet filtering / firewall? If so, is the port(s)
open on the firewall to let the vpn packets pass?

2. As I understand vpn (actually have not used it yet) it can accept / reject
connection based on ip addresses. Is either side using ip address ranges as
authentication? If so, is the ISDN router using an ip address(s) not listed in
the vpn setups?

  Just a couple of thoughts...
