	Read the whole message.  "Server mode" only applies to OpenVPN 2.  I'm
even running the "toc" (topology) beta's.  Yes, I'm aware of them and no
the comments are not obsolete.  That is why they are qualified as
applying to "peer to peer mode".  And server mode does not help you in
fully meshed mode (yet).
