VPN (pptp) solution work just fine both potop and mpd on server side
and with any win box on client side, even win'95 with patch from
microsoft.com. There is could be problem with MAC OS - i didn't find
pptp-client for it but it should be, i think. Also FreeBSD and Linux
has pptp-clients. And the last, you can use cheap hardware
pptp-clients in situations like with MAC OS for example Allied Telesyn
AR-221E.
