RE: Attempting to map a drive from home to AS/400 IFS directory

We most likely would go with CISCO solution if we go with
VPN.

Does this mean we would install the device at our office and
then load CISCO software on all PC's that would have a need
to access the VPN?

I thought I read somewhere that you could access a VPN using
something built into Windows XP??

For remote users we use a Cisco solution.  The remote PC's
do not need any 
additional hardware - it's all Cisco software.  Cool thing
was that I 
almost landed a side job using the same solution to get into
their 
network.

Doing it on an appliance versus a direct in to your i5 vpn
solution is 
that you can use other stuff on the network as if you were
local. 
Including stuff like
- Your local Domain Name Server
- Shares on wintel, etc
And still get into your i5 via 5250, netserver, etc as if
you were local.
