Do you want to dial into your Internal Network directly or via the Internet ?

If its the Internet you'll be best to use a VPN client into a Firewall/VPN Concentrator and if its directly then you will probable be best with RAS (assuming NT/2000)

E-mail me if you want any further help

Cheers

Jeff

I use pcAnywhere. Initially a direct dial-up via modem, now I VPN via ADSL at both ends.

At the moment we use spx, but once the technical boys have had a play we should change to IP and increase the connection speed.

Windows 2000 Server, RSA Secure ID cards or similar..

ISDN30 Lines or similar with forced dial back, and choose some decent encryption...

or speak to Jeff and let him charge you a fortune

Jefff... We are still looking at the info you forwarded me... Ill be in touch soon..
