Re: PC connection tool

You could use Wingate proxy server to do that.  If your client wants to give
his customer access to telnet to log in, you could use Wingate to do proxy
for telnet in from the web.  If the client is at a fixed ip address, you can
use Wingate to allow telnet connections from only selected ip address or
FQDN's.  This would prevent others from telnetting in from just anyplace.

To get a little fancier, you could set up two Wingate machines - one at your
client's end, one at their customer's.  The wingate boxes can talk to each
other and pass telnet back and forth, encrypted, over the web.  You also
could use a non-standard port number for the traffic.

My company can help you with some of this tinkering.  Please email me back
if you would like more information.
