I think the answer is "it depends". I used a Netgear VPN firewall router at
a remote location and a Linux software firewall at the server side. Two
Netgear routers work also but I dropped the server side in favor of a
software solution because it is more flexible. I want to enable both remote
office and "road warrior" configurations.
Having said that, I was logged into vantage in about two minutes from the
time I started the connection. I initiated a remote connection in XP,
watched while the connection was established, logged into Vantage and was up
and running in two minutes. I will automate the TS connection next so
Vantage runs as soon as the user connects which will save a little time.
The screens were almost as fast as being in the office.
The TS server is my backup server, Vantage is on another Win2000 server.
This is the recommended configuration from Epicor. I have only tested this
on a cable modem. DSL will be next, as will a TS connection without the VPN
layer. The firewall software is being upgraded next week to help with the
"road warrior" configurations. I'll let you know how it goes. This has
been a real pain in the .... project. Not the kind of thing where you
learn as you go. I think I have made every major mistake and false step
possible along the way. Call me if you want to know what not to do.

In regards to the VPN question:
I have tried running Vantage over a DSL VPN (hardware to hardware) and
it took about 15min for vantage to open. My suggestion would be to
install a terminal server or citrix server and allow remote access that
way. Vantage over a VPN (other than a T1) is just too slow to be
affective.

LOL Todd!!!
While we are on the subject... What else will I need besides user
licenses
to add another company to our vantage server. Do I need additional user
licenses for another company? They have 5 computers at their location.
Hardware wise: I currently have vpn routers in place at each
location...vpn
not configured yet... dsl 512k connection...will this work?
Thanks,
Darren

Is this a good time to mention my second favorite addendum on software
purchases?
Lock in the cost of additional users up front BEFORE you buy the
software.
We originally locked in additional users for $ 2,000/e.
Oh well, live and learn ...

Has anyone purchased additional user licenses lately? What are they
going
for currently?
