LOL. Trash MS and offer a crippled solution that doesn't meet the stated
requirements. Good move.
Div, it depends on how much you want to spend, and how secure you think MS
products are :-).
MS VPN is FREE (of course you have to provide the NT server), and will
provide ALL the requirements you listed in your message, IMO.
By using the MS product, your remote PCs can access your LAN via the
Intranet and will for all purposes be on the LAN, and will be able to access
network resources like other PCs on the LAN, including e-mail. All this
using free software from MS.
Just make sure and use the latest versions of the DUN clients :-).
One penalty is speed. There have been problems reported with MS' solution.
Then there is also security, and what you consider "secure enough" (nothing
is completely secure). but then again you're using NT :-).
I guess it all depends on how much you're willing to spend on a solution.
If you want more information on how I've implemented a solution for my LAN,
please email me directly - the anti-MS rhetoric on the list can be a bit
overbearing at times :-).
