Dunno how much the Cisco server/client costs...but works very
seamlessly and allows you to cryptokey both machines to keep
everyone else out--and you can pretty much use any type of link
connect. Would suspect that there are pretty good freeware/shareware
VPN tunnels good enough for modest file transfers. Still, if your
ISP doesn't block the ports, the SCP stuff from the puTTY folks is
extremely simple to set up... with cygwin being only a slight bit
more difficult. And both are priced right--free.
For giggles, has anyone seen the reports [too appropriate to be made
up] that BMW will soon be offering Sun Java in their vehicles? And
guess who Microsoft has signed an automotive software deal with?
FIAT!!! Yup...Fix It Again Tony Fiat auto systems by Microsoft...

qwest sells you the DSL, and then gives you several choices for your actual
ISP. i decided to also use qwest as my ISP (like $6 a month) but MSN was an
option.

i agree and i dont. MS remote access is easy for folks like you and me, but
for someone in need of help to set up a simple MS server i think they would
find the MS configurations much more difficult than VNC.
