We tried the VPN route, but that led to yet another issue. The server's network does have VPN, but it is highly restricted. There is a lot of paperwork involved in getting an account set up. Once done, we'd have another problem - the client's computer won't be able to use the client-side network anymore. That means that they'd have to have a CPRS computer on VPN and a regular computer off the VPN for everything else.
As for tunneling on SSH, that would be the #1 solution if CPRS ran well on Linux. We could tunnel into the Vista server on port 22 and display the X-CPRS on the client's machine. We could also upgrade CPRS easily by only upgrading it on the server and not going client to client. But, the major dawback is getting CPRS to run on Linux without paying out so much money that we'd be better of buying some other EMR system.

What is the issue regarding your network security...it will be good to know should others have a similar setup?
And dumb question...did you try setting up a VPN and tunneling...??

It is becoming clear that we cannot use CPRS with our network security. Is it possible to effectively use Vista without CPRS? I can easily set up SSH accounts for each user so that gtm starts when the login. I assume that setting the primary menu in Vista will change what they see once gtm starts. I just don't know what menus to give the different people (nurses, providers, clerks...). I also haven't found user's documentation. Everything is directed toward the administrator/programmer, not the average user. So, I'm afraid I'll have to set aside a lot of time to write documentation while I'm trying to learn what to do.
What I'm trying to get done right now:
* Have a provider SSH in and immediately get to a patient selection screen where he can view/edit patient info
* Give nurses the same menu - is there any function for a nurse to hand-off the patient to a provider without having the nurse log off and having the provider log back in and select the same patient?
* Have clerks SSH in and immediately get to a screen to add patients or schedule visits for existing patients.
If I can get to that point, my history has included years of making graphical front-ends for telnet/ssh menus (written in Cobol and/or Ada). I will be able to do the same for this without the loop-back security headache of CPRS.
