Thanks Walter.

The application was purchased from a company
specializing in FilePro programming so I can only
assume we have a commercial license for it since we
paid for the program.  
In looking at the function of how it is viewed it does
use a mapped drive.  I think you hit the nail on the
head with the VPN setup.  I have set them up before so
I think I can handle another one.  
Is there a viewing app that I could run on unix to let
other viewers see the scanned images though?  Maybe
something using the BLOB function?
