haha nice, although it *was* 2, now 3
If you get it working I'd love to hear what you did.That's very interesting. I've played with 5.0 some but have stuck with 4 on my desktop. I might have to dig out the virtual machine again to look at this...
Other than that I think we've hijacked this thread for too long . Might be time to create a separate NetBSD talk thread.

What's the saying? --if you haven't rebooted your server in years, then it's probably no longer yours.
Don't mind me, I'm just miffed because NetBSD won't work with either of the two computers I bought in the last couple of years (issues with Nvidia disk controllers keeps it from working on my desktop, and no network drivers for my laptop's Marvell card )
If it did, it would be my OS of choice.
Which is indeed a major part of the appeal they hold for me.
But I was referring to the question if the connection over VPN is stable (my Ubuntu's vpnc and Citrix Client aren't really what I'd call stable).
I need to have overnight-calculations running on a remote server, through the VPN-Citrix combo (Matlab and Maple) to ensure compliance to the university's versions. Ubuntu's implementations have failed me a few times last year (which might of course be due to other problems, but still, it's quite pesky).
You can check out http://pkgsrc.se/ to browse through all the packages available through pkgsrc although I don't think Matlab or Maple are available. There are some tutorials from wiki.netbsd.se on how to get them to work through linux emulation. However I don't how applicable they are anymore since they were written for NetBSD 3.1 but you might want to check it out.
Matlab Guide
Maple Guide
As for the other two, vpnc is available through pkgsrc here
and there's a Citrix ICA client also available through linux emulation. Haven't used either one so other than point them out to you afraid not much of a help. I'd suggest trying NetBSD in Vm first to see if you can get everything to work (Vmware server, Qemu, KVM, but *not* virtualbox).

Thanks, C!oud, I'll check those out.
