This is pretty not very hard .. you can use the system user profiles
or user info from whatever application you are running.

But once I have the User Profile and the flag value I guess
I could write a program to run as there initial program and
if they are attempting remote access end the job.

Not sure how I can tell if they are coming in remotely
versus locally (in the office)

If you are using Client Access and your VPN's are on specific IP
addresses, this isn't that hard. You should be able to get the IP
address for the Telnet session programmatically, although I don't
recall how. Have the initial program check if the user is flagged as
no VPN and the IP address is a VPN address. You could do it in the
initial program for the users, or perhaps in an exit point program for
Telnet.
