alright, here's a question:
How do you assuer her home network does not violate your corporate
security policies? Afterall, she could well be routing off both NICs, the
wireless and the DSL/ethernet there at home. This makes all the home
machines potential backdoors into the corporate LAN should one of them be
compromised and or trojaned. I can't list how many times recently I've
seen folks 'VPN' tunneled into work without even anti-viri software let
alone even a personal firewall with some kind of security policy being
enforced, while they also sat in IRC and surfed the net in other
protocols outside the corporate tunnel. the more machines her VPN'ed box
is connected to, the more the risk and the greater the number of potential weakest
links.
Thanks,

OK, so you're a Ph.D. Just don't touch anything.
