Dennis: Defined simply, a VPN is a private encapsulated network service that runs over a public network. It will allow you to construct a secure tunnel through the Internet to resources on your network for users anywhere in the world who have an Internet connection. You can run a PCAnyWhere remote control session or a Terminal Server session, or any other type of remote control program through the VPN without exposing your network to the outside world. Any program that you have already written (including your R:Base applications) can be run across a VPN without any modification. You can create a VPN on the cheap by using the VPN services provided in NT or W2K server, or spend big bucks by either buying VPN appliances from companies like Cisco or subscribing to VPN services from ASP providers like Cable and Wireless.

I don't know what this is. It may be an intranet/internet connection. If this is the case then I would need to move my app to rbase/tango/oterro.
