That's what I was thinking.

Just out of curiosity, is this a limitation of monowall, or could I 
find something in a full linux distribution that would run on a Soekris 
and be able to keep a PPTP connection up.

One of my main issues is that I can't quite get a reliable signal and 
have an internal PCMCIA card. If I could get something that I could 
hook an antenna up to, then it would be quite doable if I could find 
something to connect with and would share the connection.

Thanks!
