I just setup a Dustyfoot system (http://www.dustyfoot.com). The process was painless thanks to the great documentation and personal support I recieved from Scott. Notes below:
* Step number 50 has a typo in the third sentance. The last word should be bit not but.
* The peanuts in the shipping box made quite a mess when I was unpacking. Scott was good enough to provide me with bags to put the peanuts in (so I could recycle), but it was still quite a chore. Perhaps a better idea would have been to put the peanuts in the bags to start. Sprinkle a few around to fill the cracks, but fill the bulk of the space with *bagged* peanuts.
* Setting up VPN over the connection was easy. I'm on a dynamic IP with the Cisco client 4.0.3D with UDP and IPSec. I've read alot on the other message boards about problems, but I didn't have any trouble. My bet is that those people were having NAT trouble with an IPSec incompatible router. I don't have a router in between my PC and the "modem".
* Picked up a few mobile computing accessories from http://www.compu-deals.com They are just an affiliate, but well organized.
Glad you got your VPN working! Thanks for the proofreading.
I have abandoned the packing peanuts and am now packing the systems differently. I found some smaller shipping boxes and am using some of the orginal cardboard to go inside the main box. End results is no more peanuts and smaller overall shipping size.

Milan: Trick I have found when I open a box with all those peanuts.....
Keep a large shop vac handy and just vacume the peanuts out. Works so well we have a shop vac in my office dedicated to just vacuming peanuts out of incoming shipments!

I too experienced quality support with setting up my Dustyfoot system. Scott aslo provided the help I needed when I encountered problems at a subsequent location.
