I'll have to keep that one in mind. Most of the time the excuse I hear has to do with security and that they can't have consultants working off site accessing the servers and code and what not. 2011/11/23 Cédric Beust ♔ <ced...@beust.com> > > > On Wed, Nov 23, 2011 at 5:50 PM, Ricky Clarkson > <ricky.clark...@gmail.com>wrote: > >> "Do you provide VPN access for when someone needs to do some work out >> of hours?" would be a good opening question on that. >> > > This is indeed the best way to ask the question.
