It appears the Windows XP might have native support as a VPN client:

I'll see if this solution also works with the WRT box.

I think the OpenWRT / DD-WRT / OpenVPN topic would make a great meeting
presentation.  In the past I've tried following a few different how-to
articles, but never did get it working.  I have a WRT54Gv1 equalavent to the
newer WRT54GL which I would be happy to lend to someone if they would like
to teach us how to make this work without giving a small fortune to Cisco.

OpenWRT + OpenVPN  would be the combination I would implement.  Should meet
your needs, plus there are several different Windows clients -w- GUIs.

I had submitted an article proposal to them.  After waiting a month or
so, they got back to me.  The good news was they would have printed
the article in October.  The bad news is that were closing the
magazine down before then!

look at the connections and support FS is what I was directed to do.
buffalo has a few different options and I forget the specifics since I 
put it off.

That said, I will give you the answer, FreeNAS! Just ask Jay

I sure you realize this, but they are not even in the same class of
equipment.

 The "Fantom 1TB" is an external drive that connects to a system by USB
2.0.  {ie, it's a very large pen drive. <GRIN>}

 While the "Buffalo TeraStation 2TB" is a NAS server. 
{shoot you could even connect the "Fantom 1TB" to it, if you wanted to.}

Haven't played with this specific one, but I've got a couple of Fantom
