Here's the additional information in the office right now. We have a DSL connection at 512 kbps, with a static IP(Public IP) address in this server (Mandrake 9.2), the company want me to configure a dial-up services in this server for all managers and supervisors in order for them to access while they are in home like non-office hours. This is to make updates on their e-mails and have share also to them an internet connections. I have already an external modem(CNet) ready to start then configuration process.
Can anybody help list/add an additional requirements that i might need to this setup. I need also an advise on the things/steps that i should do to achieve this goal. I really appreciate an idea that would help me lots.
