RE: [SYSTEM21] System 21 & VPN

["Brunk, Kevin" <KBrunk@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

We've been using secure VPN links between ourselves and our largest suppliers 
for nearly a year now and it's they've performed very well.  We did have to 
install an additional TCP/IP card to handle the volume (we communicate several 
times a day with these suppliers) and so that it didn't monopolize or affect 
the performance of the IP traffic of our internal users.

Hi folks,

We're currently reviewing our communication links between our depots, 
which currently are connected via a dedicated private line.  The main 
alternative to this appears to be a VPN, does anybody else currently use a VPN 
to communicate between different sites and if so how secure is the 
solution.

regards


Jon
