Hi Craig,
but then it is ThinPath providing the local drive mapping feature.
Pretty cheap: unless you give me a link to the manufacturer's suite I cannot
check what this means.
Also, cheap may mean a different thing for a > 200 user server
configuration,
at our site we have around 20 concurrent users currently so it is rather
small (but we have more complex application requirements)
Also there was a typ in my original mail, it was not VPN but VNC I used
before I found the RDP 5.1 to access my WindowsXP desktop.
