I was interested in the techincal problems. I well aware of the policy issues surrounding visitors using corporate nets to tunnel out. It's not allowed at my site. I repeatedly warn my users about doing it at other sites without checking with them first. Anyone who has Sybase sales or professional services visitors, and wants to forbid this at their site, let me know :) Ryan This is a policy problem first and a technology problem second. The visitor is trying to treat the hosting site like an ISP, and that's not always appropriate. The host site might not want an outsider generating encrypted data streams inside their network and shooting them through the door at high speed. Rick. smith () securecomputing com
