RE: System 21 & VPN

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.

Subject: [SYSTEM21] System 21 & VPN


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
