Part 1: VPNs with OpenBSD in large corporate networks

Large corporate networks are traditionally a mess. Historically  
grown, designed and maintained by a number of different people and  
never really intended to be secure. Above all big companies are  
operating globally and often use the internet to connect their  
locations, employees and 3rd party supporters. We need very flexible  
ways to deal with the vast number of requirements to secure these  
networks. This talk will show different practical approaches in  
building flexible secure VPNs with OpenBSD at different network levels.

About Mischa
Mischa is working on VPN and Firewall deployment at GeNUAmbH in  
Munich, where he maintains large scale network and firewall setups.
Part 2: Implementing PAE for OpenBSD/i386
Not yet committed to OpenBSD, Mickey has been working on PAE for  
OpenBSD i386. Essentially, it`s about supporting up to 64 gig of  
physical memory.

About Mickey
It is hard to find some code which Michael has not at least  
influenced in OpenBSD. He seems to be dextrous on any hardware  
platform and is equally well versed in PCI as he is SCSI. Mickey is  
readily available on the message lists and is always happy to help  
impart some of his vast networking knowledge to beggars and sysadmins  
with a smile. He recently left New York City to cause havoc in Berlin.
