i just had to install libgcc found here :

then i created a static key on my windows server running openvpn2.0 , transfered it to the zaurus, created all config.ovpn on server and client side (thanks to many many people;) then i launched it.

openvpn server1.ovpn

JPMATRIX, and all ...

Thank you for all the help, finally I managed to install all the packages as described in JPMATRIX howto (same versions) and everything works!

I am very exited specially because I am in the road a lot and for security reasons I was not using my Zaurus as much as I wanted (I am traveling with a Windows Laptop - work, Mac Power Book G4 12" and my Zaurus - personal), the only way that I found / could improve my internet sccess was either using company cisco vpn (that I do not like for personal purposes), and a personal Vpn from Witopia for my G4 (sotware package).

Recently I discovered another provider of personal vpn - HotSpotVpn, that actually offers as an option OpenVpn compatibility.

Now I am able to "securely" connect my Zaurus while on the road using OpenVpn and HotSpotVpn2 Virtual private service.

The service is not inexpensive, but having a way to reliably securely connect is worthed; I even contemplated the option of setting a box in my house to either SSH or Install OpenVpn server but everything always boils down to how to recover the service if a system failure happens and I am on the road .

In any case thank you again ......
I just wanted to share with others the effect of your help.

Regards,
Alejandro.

just to say that openvpn works "out of the box" with Angstrom on my 3100... seems quite slow though for some reason

if I run ssh over openvpn the response time is pretty terrible.
