I use MS Remote Desktop Connection and can specify to use my local printer
before I log in.  My VPN is Cisco PIX.  Works very well.

Is it possible to redirect printing to the remote location when running
RBASE with Terminal Services Client?

David,

A VPN is like another client on the network, at the other end of a very long
cable. 
Everything travels through the wires to the workstation (after being
encrypted for the 
transmission), and then the workstation's copy of R:Base does all the work
with that 
huge amount of data that went through the wire.

Terminal Services Client is more like Citrix (or even PC Anywhere), where
R:Base is 
running back on the Terminal Services Server, and a picture of the screen is
all that 
gets sent through the wire.  A VPN connection is just not going to be very
efficient for 
a file-based database. This is the place for an R:Web application!
