OK, I'm setting up remote access via modem to a small network of about 12 PCs.
What I want to do is to provide access to the local machines remotely, using
remote control software. (VNC, ATT's Virtual Network Computer stuff)
This avoids the extreme frustration of loading a 2 MB .EXE file over a modem,
and as well provides for a single data source to backup.
Security has been presented as an issue.
Which is better? Using IPsec, as mentioned at
http://securityportal.com/direct.cgi?/coverstory/19990726.html , or PoPToP?
Has anybody tried setting up IPsec on a Linux server, and Windows clients? I
can see from watching this list for a while, that many of you have found
success with PPTP.
Thanks in advance,
