What more do you want? I told you how to do it your way, if you still want to do it with GoToMyPC (note reference to packet filters, though you still have not told anyone what version of ISA you are using, which is kinda important if you want help.)
You were also given very valuable advise on an alternate solution- a *better* solution - that would increase the overall security posture of the client.
No one was on a soapbox, but I'm going to be now: Of course one can't always build the "perfect" solution, but with minimal research and careful implementation, you can build better, workable, and more secure solutions. You said you didn't like TS because of "personal preference" but provided no technical reasons why you can't implement it. The advise given is what allows you make the best out of a bad situation, particularly in the absence of any information that otherwise obviates best practices. This is from *your* website:
"Instead, we pride ourselves on being one of the few consulting companies that uses best practices to craft solutions that meet our clients' needs. We are not interested in 'magically' transforming our clients' desires into those that nicely fit into cookie-cutter solutions. We never take the easy way out. We take the correct way out, all the while working towards efficient, scalable, and complete solutions."
The words above to not match the actions of a consultant who loads 3rd party HTTP-based remote-access software on the firewall itself (software designed specifically to "by-pass firewalls"), can't figure out how to do it, posts to a list, gets the information he wants in addition to a better (free) solution, but still whines about how we're not being helpful.
It's HTTP - pretty easy stuff. Is that helpful enough for you?

Wow, I have never seen such an insecure group (no pun intended).
are quite a few reasons why I asked the question the way I did. Iwanted
suggestions about HOW to do something, and received deprecatingcomments
weabout WHY I was doing something.
If you get off your soapboxes long enough you might see that in some cases, the goal is to make the best out of a bad situation. Sometimes
"whycan't build the "perfect" solution.
Better yet, should my original posting have included comments like
onanyone would try to build a security device on top of the Windows operating system is beyond me, but..." or "while I personally would be using a hardware firewall, this client is using Windows ISA, running
top of an OS that I wouldn't use in a production environment if mylife
depended on it."
Try to be a little more helpful next time...
