Tom: I'm not sure what it is about VPNs that some people claim they are able to get work done with them.. I'm in the camp where I can NOT get work done on them. 2 of my clients have VPNs for me to do remote work and it's pretty much impossible. An "update" command that might take 2 seconds while connected onsite on the network could honestly take about 3 minutes connected thru a VPN. Imagine trying to run a program with hundreds of lines of code... One Chicago IT consultant that I subcontract RBase work thru refuses to install VPNs on his customers that have client-based databases (like RBase or Access) installed. He considers the risk of corruption too great. I wish those 2 clients of mine felt the same way!
