There is no tap-device support in OpenBSD - please correct me if i'm
wrong with that but i couldn't find any tap-device in the kernel-soures 
As far as I can see there is only the tun-device.
Beside that: I'm using OpenVPN on OpenBSD/i386 ( Version 3.1 up to 3.3 )
in a roadwarrior setup. Currently running 30 different tunnels on one
OpenBSD/i386 box ( as a vpn-Server ). 
External employees are connecting with OpenVPN from notebooks ( mostly
running Linux ) through cheap internet-connections. 
Between 3 and 10 out of 30 tunnels are used at the same time.
This setup is working now for about 9 months without any trouble.
Connction with OpenVPN version 1.5-Beta4 from Windows2000 to the server
running version 1.3.1 works well ( you have to use --disabel-occ ).
But i was only able to connect both endpoints of the vpn, sending data
throught the tunnel didn't work for me ( maybe a routing problem on the
Windows2000 box - until yet i had not enough time for testing this )
Maybe it's interesting that OpenVPN ( 1.3.1 ) is working under
OpenBSD/Sparc64 as good as in the described setup above.
