internetvpn [Virtual Private Network, VPN] APN

I am having problems connecting to Windows Live Messenger using the VPN APN ... never mind, it just sorted itself :)
 
New Vodacom SMS notification

I've called 155 this morning for the internetvpn APN activation of my sim and recieved the following SMS;

Your request to activate InternetVPN has been logged for 072*******.
Time: 04-03-2008 09:04:38

The guy at 155 told me it will be activated within 24hrs. :)
 
Hi, I have a similar problem with a Huawei 3G USB modem (which I bought a month ago), and a Nortel Networks 6_01 VPN client.
The VPN stopped working a few days ago, it now just holds on to the "Checking for banner text from" message and then disconnects.

I have read this thread and I hope I can solve my issue, by "translating" the requirements to my carrier.. which is in Argentina :) If I understood correctly, I believe everything is related to the APN, so my carrier may have changed something in the network disallowing the ports which make the VPN work.

I would like to know, if any of you magic-doers can tell me, what I should tell the carrier's support guys: Meaning, what does this internetVPN APN implies? Becouse I've already told them I cannot connect to my corporate's VPN, but I am afraid I'll need to give them a few more technical details, so they escalate the ticket with detailed info.

Thanks in advance, from a guy a few miles away!
Let me know if you need any more specific details.
