Sorry about the previous post.

I  hoped I was missing a configuration setting. Would OPENVPN have the 
features to accomplish a point to point link? I know that Sonicwall has 
some hardware that is advertised to have a configurable default route 
for Internet traffic. I was hoping to use Monowall, it is a great tool 
and the price is right!

Thanks again
