And if net-only support is fine, what the connectivity would be like.  For
instance, I -refuse- (flat out -refuse-, as in WILL NOT TOUCH for -any-
price) to muck about with VPN software on my systems.  It's ssh, telnet,
rsh, vnc, or nothing.

I've had -so- many bad experiences with VPN software from 3rd parties.  The
-last- time I used what someone gave me to work on their gear, it took 5hrs
to repair the Windows registry BY HAND to even get networking and dialup
networking back -at all-, the software screwed the OS so badly.  At that
point I decided "never again" and won't even consider it.  That was about
the 4th package I'd tried for a client.

I digress, but it's an illustrative point--some people won't do it.  I know
I'm not alone in the principle, although my lousy experience with it is
extreme, compared to most.

If ssh, which uses 1024-bit keys that are more secure than most VPN
encryptions at 48 to 168-bit (that was the highest I saw during a cursory
glance through Google results 2 weeks ago, although I suspect there may be
a 256-bit), is not good enough for someone, their loss.  Seemed 128-bit was
the most common in the brief results I perused.  That's weak compared to
ssh.

IMHO, VPN's are horribly overused for *nix systems.

But yes, do specify things like what the connectivity would be, as well.
