Re: VPN server

["Dare @ Work" <oludare@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have DSL at home from Earthlink with 1.5Mbs/785Kbs. I added 2 switches and
1 3-port Router with firewall to the modem.  My service has been great,
except when the company is performing a maintenance or upgrade.  I live 5min
from Dulles Airport and it's US of A.

Just my 1cent.
