Title: [ActiveDir] Remote DSL link

These devices don’t have a ISDN backup built in, but offer a VPN solution that also scans at the gateway for viruses, allows you to put into place NIDS and NIPS and also acts as a firewall.  All this for $1,500.  Not bad   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Robert Rutherford Sent: Thursday, October 28, 2004 4:25 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Remote DSL link   Whats good about the Fortigate? I havent heard of them. I'm asking because Im genuinely interested.     The beauty of the Draytek Vigor boxes is that they have ISDN backup builtin on a few of the boxes. Which is very useful when using ADSL.   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] on behalf of Salandra, Justin A.

I have run remote sites of 15 odd users on ADSL running in a normal WAN capacity (without TS). I have also run ADSL with 10+ users and TS with no real problems.   You must of course take into account that ADSL lines dont typically come with any sort of SLA. I would advise backup lines of some sort, either DSL from another provider or ISDN backups. Ive used it without but just be prepared   I personally wouldnt use Windows VPN for such an exercise. It will however work. I would use some sort of VPN device. I have used Draytek boxes which are  good choice for such a setup. They only cost a couple of hundred dollars a piece and will plug straight in the wall. A LAN-LAN VPN would be a cleaner alternative to VPN clients.   BR   Rob   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] on behalf of Kern, Tom Sent: Thu 28/10/2004 17:31 To: ActiveDir (E-mail) Subject: [ActiveDir] Remote DSL link I have 10 users in a remote site. We want to connect them to our domain via a dsl link and Windows RRAS. They are all windows XP sp1 clients. Typically they use Termservices in APP mode to access Quick Books server and Outlook for email. Is this an ok config for ADSL? Or in general? can they just use the XP vpn client to hit the RRAS server and then log into the domain? Should i get a faster link? thanks List info   : http://www.activedir.org/mail_list.htm List FAQ    : http://www.activedir.org/list_faq.htm List archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/activedir%40mail.activedir.org/ =======================================================================               Scanned for virus infection by Messagelabs ======================================================================= ======================================================================= Scanned for virus infection by Messagelabs =======================================================================
