[AccessD] Learning .Net

Virtual Private Network.

So connecting into a network through the internet.  A typical network
will run at 100 megabits (maybe even gigabit...), a VPN connection is
typically the end users internet speed (a megabit or two if they are
lucky).  The applications I have tried to run over a VPN connection,
with an .mdb backend, are slow as dirt over that slow of a connection.
Switching them to a SQL Server back end, makes them almost the same
speed as they would be locally.

Hey Drew
I don't know what a VPN is, but on all my network systems we have never 
run into a problem.

Thanks
Tony
