We have a VP41 here at work and were planning on using it's support
for 70 tunnels to handle our IPSec needs.  Unfortunately, while it
supports 70 defined tunnels, it does *not* support 70 active tunnels.
In fact, afaik, it only supports 1 or 2 active tunnels, which makes
it useless for a business (but fine for a home user).
