Someone asked what my communication needs are. Fair enough.
I need to be able to map NT drive shares, communicate with an Exchange
server, communicate with a Microsft SQL server, communicate with an Oracle
server, telnet to unix hosts, and browse the intranet web site. Essentially
I need to be able to make my NT computer at home think, and act, pretty much
like it is on the network at work. Thus, NetBEUI is not required because we
are an all IP shop, but NetBIOS over TCP/IP probably is.
I need my traffic(work bits after connecting) and my connection(password
bits) to be encrypted against prying eyes on the internet.
Anything else?

What are your business requirements? Do you need NetBIOS Browsing etc.
or simply a tunnel to do remote admin... or ftp or ??? It's difficult to
say use this or that when you don't provide detail....
