Linux-Watch reviews the Linux Networking Cookbook. "In her book, [Carla] Schroder delivers exactly what she promises: recipes for creating tasty and useful Linux and TCP/IP networking setups. Want to know how to build a VOIP (voice over IP) server with Asterisk? How to create a single sign-on for hybrid Linux/Windows LANs? Or, how to create a real VPN with OpenVPN a Linux-based PPTP (Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol) server? It's in there."

"OpenVPN a Linux-based PPTP (Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol) server ..."

Put a comma after OpenVPN and parse that sentence again.  Or to be even more clear "OpenVPN,
