I think you have hit the nail on the head with your last sentence.  The old 
RPC broker pretty much required that the server and clients be on the same 
network to provide secuity for the system because of the way the callback was 
made to the server.  The new broker fixed that but did not work well with 
previous versions of GT.M,  With this new configuration,  secure remote 
connections from CPRS to the server can be set up allowing for ASP use of 
VistA with GTM on Linux as well as the other platforms while opening only one 
port.
