For other PDAs besides the Treo smart phone there is hope yet for the
wireless connectivity on campus with VPN. Read about a Reslife staff's
experience below:

So EXCITING!!!!
So I got the VPN up and running. I had to use a different program, but
this other program is happy and incredibly easy to use. It's the
Bluefire Mobile Security VPN. There's a 30 day trial edition on their
website http://www.bluefiresecurity.com . But the full version is $79
:-( So very sad. Nevertheless, it does the trick. The configuration is
very simple. Just enter the gateway, group username and password, your
username, check PFS, select IKE group 2 and viola done. The best part is
that you can save the policy out as an XML file, which can be imported
into another PDA with same software.
So, I'm very happy...
Very happy indeed...

"It is hard to belive at times but everything does happen for a reason...and even harder to figure out your place in all of it!"
The following is an automated message from UVM's email gateway: This email
message contained an attachment of a type that could carry a virus.
The attachment was an archive that contained a type of file that we don't
allow, so the entire attachment was been deleted.
Attachment name: bluefirevpnwm5.zip
UVM has decided to block certain well known executable file types at our
email gateway, to help reduce the risk of email viruses spreading on our
network. This message most likely contained a ZIP attachment. UVM
allows most ZIP attachments to be delivered, however if a ZIP contains
a file type that's known to be a common attack method for viruses, we
drop the ZIP attachment.
If you get this message, but want the attachment being sent to you,
we recommend you contact the sender and ask them to use the UVM file
transfer application at https://www.uvm.edu/filetransfer/ to send
the file to you.
This notification is being sent to you for informational purposes. To
keep nuisance factors and mail traffic under control, the original sender
of the message has NOT been notified -- you may want to let them know at
your discretion, if you feel the email you received is legitimate.
