    I'm sure it's possible, as I remember doing it years ago but can't recall.
    So what I'm trying to do:
    From Point A (my computer)
    Connect to Point B (VPN 1)
    Through Point B, I'd like to connect to Point C (another VPN)

    So essentially it would be a tunnel through a tunnel.

    . ======

    Point A Point B Point C

    Edit:
    My drawing didn't work too well, but I'm sure you get the basic idea. I'm using OpenVPN to connect to Point B, and Cisco VPN to connect to Point C. Problem is once Point C connects, both B and C disconnect.

    Don't believe you! ;)

    Couple of options though;

    1 - Do it in H/W
    2 - Check out "split tunneling". [I suspect this may be what you did years back?]

    There's many arguments against it, primary being you bypass any gateway controls at "B", which may or may not be significant to you of course......

    HTH, cheers,
    Ian
