Actually, that wasn'y my question - weither OpenVPN will be ported to
Windows or not. The question was, is OpenVPN able to communicate and
establish a VPN connection with other VPN products (such as Windows VPN
clients, Cisco routers, etc.) or ONLY other OpenVPN's.

I don't know much about VPN, and maybe I was wrong asking the question, but
I thought there existed some kind of standards (like RFC) describing how VPN
connections are established and "used", just like FTP, WWW, IRC, you name
it.
