(or a combination of them) If as you suggest, both ends are freebsd, then I've used mpd over ssh with great effect. use the 'tcp transport' option of mpd and connect it through an ssh tunnel. is the 'client' roaming or at a fixed address? if a fixed address then ipsec becomes easier. >Thanks > > > >__________________________________________________ >Do You Yahoo!? >Tired of spam?
