[AccessD] Secured vs. Unsecured FEs

...send him to me! :)))

...my goal at this stage of my retirement is to convince every client that I
can support them over a high-speed VPN ...from Costa Rica :))))))))))))))))

...the only objection I'd have is that you definitely want to work on one of
their workstations rather than on their server ...otherwise, as long as you
secure your code, I don't see the problem ...unless you mean he's actually
expecting you to accomplish ALL development across the VPN rather than just
interfacing with his systems for installation and maintenance ...now that
could be a real drag since the term "high speed VPN" is essentially
meaningless in a development mode ...he'd have to give you a dedicated T1 to
keep you as productive as you are on a local workstation ...and even then
there would be problems such as access to all your own code libraries,
development tools, and template mdbs :(
