[ale] Dumb Question wrt ATT & IPSec

[Geoffrey]

I didn't respond to this earlier, but Robert has jogged some cobwebs.  I 
  don't know for a fact, but I doubt very seriously that AT&T BB is 
blocking ipsec.  The reason is that as AT&T uses an ipsec vpn to access 
the corporate intranet for remote, telecommuting and virtual office 
users.  I know that some folks I've talked to are using AT&T BB and the 
ipsec access.
