I need to basically setup a VPN between two remote locations. I'm looking for any information on how and what to configure and/or other ideas to go about this.

It has been suggested either:

a VPN with a ISDN line to connect the two
which I didn't think was reasonable and would be a waste of the T-1.

or ASP.
I thought ASP was web related..?




+Need to connect two remote locations to a central server
+Central server will host specific software through some terminal services
+Needed for industry specific 32-bit application (program is irrelavant to this discussion)
+All workstations on Windows (9x or NT)
+Remote server will be Windows 2000 Server
+30 +/- computers on both networks
+Roughly 5 to 6 simultaneous connections, at the least
+Both networks on fractional T-1's
+Security not necessarily an issue (even though for me it is)



+What if any limitations?
+How many simulteoneous connections could this support?
+What tecnologies and protocols would be best suited for this?
+What security issues should be addressed?
+Can I base authentication on the static IP's?
+Could PCAnywhere or something similar do what's needed?
+Is there a SSH Daemon for Windows?
+Would the central server being *nix a good idea?



I think I have given all the relevant information, if not please let me know and I'll fill in the blanks. Any ideas or search criteria would be more than appreciated. Thanks!
