Thanks RTev. Sounds like one killer suite!!! Virtual Private Network? Wow, I did not know MSFT had a VPN in the works. Interesting, I will have to bookmark this thread/check out the MSFT site and get up to date on this along with the tiger server.

VPN's have been available on NT since RRAS (Routing & Remote Access Services) shipped in 1997 (?) as a free add-on to NT4.

A large percentage of Microsoft's field employees use VPNs on a daily basis, dialing in to MSN and then bringing up a 128-bit encrypted PPTP tunnel. In addition, PPTP over DSL/cable modem is commonly used to access the corporate network from home for those of us lucky enough to have high-speed connections available.
