Need suggestions setting up temporary remote location

[Walter D Vaughan Jr]

(I deleted a very dangerous solution) 
Much much less dangerous:
	1. setup private VPN between the two networks that automatically
reconnects itself
	2. setup Terminal server on the home network
	3. Have remote RDP (mstcs.exe) clients setup to share printers and
connect to Terminal Server
The VPN can drop out every 5 minutes and you really won't loose anything
