Hi Robert,

Thanks for your warnings, I'm looking at PTY and I think it's what I was 
looking for.

I don't have any kind of control about VPN, it's a customer requisit, 
and we can buy the exact hardware as they have an make the VPN 
connection by hardware, or launching a utility (by Cisco), to start the 
VPN.

The problem is that utility opens a window saying yes/no and you have to 
click the button, or connect through the shell. We want to do this 
without human interference, as this are jobs done at night, and 
automatic.

Thanks again, I'm learning lots of things today ...

:-)

regards,

r.
