You don't even need a modem. As long as the web developers have internet access, they can connect to the ftp server via the vpn software client securely. Personally, I have tried microsoft, nortel, and cisco vpn clients. Of all three, cisco is the most versatile, robust, and has the best features. The cisco vpn client even has a linux port. Have been fiddling around with my freshly minted dual boot(Thanks to morpheus! hehehe...) win2k/solaris notebook, and there are freeswan vpn tools for win2k so that you can be authenticated to say, a freeswan linux server, which can then give you access to the ftp server. The link (Google is my friend and your friend. :) http://vpn.ebootis.de/ Have downloaded it, and played a bit, but simply don't have the time. Maybe next time. regards, --- Andre M.
