Nokia 770, VPNs, etc

January 25th, 2006

After drooling over the Nokia 770 (Wifi/Bluetooth Internet Tablet) for about a week, I drove down to CompUSA near the Fox Hills Mall to buy one. The thing is 0.5 lbs, has a 4″ 800×480 screen and actually looks nice.

Today, I got root on the machine, installed xterm and Gaim and setup vpnc to connect to UCLA’s IPSEC VPN. I was ever-so-kindly pointed to Cisco VPN Group Password Decoder which takes the encrypted password in a VPN profile and gives you the plaintext password.

Now I don’t have to make the trips to the SEASnet lab to check my email :)
