I've found that the web interface on the LinkSys BEVFP41 VPN boxes to be a
bit picky, frequently not working properly from Linux browsers, opera, and
mozilla (I haven't tried konquerer).  Mozilla usually works better than
opera, and I've often used that on customer machines via an ssh connection
with X11 forwarding.  When I'm configuring them in-house, I usually use
Internet Exploder from one of our Apple OS X boxes.

Generally the Netgear web interface adheres to standards, and works well
with any browser I've tried.  Unfortunately, the last time I did any
serious testing on their VPN boxes, I found they didn't talk nice to Linux
FreeS/WAN or the *BSD* racoon IPSec.
