VPN is
the only way to go IMO.
If u
have a setup with different locations and single users i would suggest the
following senario: use a Cisco 3005 concentrator or larger as the
connection point at ur main office, use 3002 concentrators(the new
small hardware client) at the remote locations and softwareclients for
remote singel users. i would suggest bringing in an expert to help u scale
ur installation right. anyway a 3005 is cheap and with the latest
sofware u can loadbalance between several of them if u need
to.

Subject: RE: VPN'sThanks for all those replies. Am more worried now then I was before ..... ;-))Why? Will try to be more specific: We have locally about 200 users, national (Australia) offices with between 3 to 30 users and some overseas locations (China, UK, NZ)with up to 30 users. We intend to run intranet access, e-mail and most importantly Citrix (ERP) over it. And, oh yes, Netscreen is definitely part of the deal. Tailcircuits will be probably either 128K or 256K.Reading your messages it sounds like VPN's, yeah great, but only for a really small setup and not necessarily that reliable. Or did I misinterpret???Regards,

Subject: RE: VPN'sjust remember the internet is a "best effort" medium.you cannot get a comitted rate from the internet. as we've seen this week, the internet provides functionality for some (most of the time), but guaranteed? not quite. just look at CNNWe like the Cisco 3000. Works pretty well.how's that for a general answer to a general question.Danhttp://www.sunbelt-software.com/ntsysadmin_list_charter.htm-----Original Message-----

Subject: VPN'sHi everybody,Very general question. My company is interested in changing from Frame Relay to VPN. It looks very interesting to us, especially since you can save quite a bit of money with it, but ....Who has made experiences with VPN's, good ones or bad ones. What about security, bandwidth, reliability etc. Am interested in any information.Thanks.Regards,
