VPN (pptp) solution work just fine both potop and mpd on server side and with any win box on client side, even win'95 with patch from microsoft.com. There is could be problem with MAC OS - i didn't find pptp-client for it but it should be, i think. Also FreeBSD and Linux has pptp-clients. And the last, you can use cheap hardware pptp-clients in situations like with MAC OS for example Allied Telesyn AR-221E. -- Andrew mailto:resident@b-o.ru
