Anyone done this before. I simply need to connect a remote office to our main office. There's only 3 users at the remote office using thin clients so I can't justify a big cost just need a simple tunnel between the two sites.

Thanks

Two old PCs out of the junk cupboard, minimal Linux installs and OpenVPN (http://openvpn.sourceforge.net/)

Couple of hours work and nil expenditure.

DSL or ADSL?

Tried for ages to pass a dynamic IP to a 5GT from a standalone ADSL modem ...

Hmm CISCO sounds good. Is it difficult to do?
