access woes

I had the displeasure of breaking Solaris 10 on my Acer Ferrari 3200
( not its fault tried to BFU to the latest nevada build with a Solaris 10
BFU script ) so I could not use our ip sec based remote secure access service.

For those that like me choose to shoot themselves in the foot from time
to time I suggest you use frkit to upgrade your systems. See just how
good Solaris performs on a laptop, opensolaris.org has or will have shortly
frkit it saves you from yourself.

This meant I needed to go looking for my DES card to use VPN, Of course
I look high and low with no joy, then I see it looking at me thru the
window of the washer !

I have learned 3 important things from this.

1) I do not like windows, nothing religious just Solaris 10
   is better, punchin is much better than VPN !
2) My 4 year old daughter can reach about 4 inches higher than
   I taught ( which is how the DES card ended up in the washer )
3) The DES card worked fine after it dried out ;)
