Dr J, I've got a client with a similar problem, and I considered this: http://www.poptop.org/ And here is an article from a fellow that incorporated this solution into his company. It is compatible with M$ based clients (2000, 98, etc), and looks solid.

Although I didn't do much. I know that's a big relief off your mind! I hope this VPN suggestion helps. :) Sorry I did'nt respond sooner; I'm experimenting with wine/sat modem drivers and right now all I have is a proxy setup rather than real NAT. I have to use a browser to wade thru the messages at present...not fun. > Thanks for any help in this regard, > drjung > Congrats!!
