We moved from a traditional VPN to a Citrix only solution for remote users.
We use Nfuse (web client) and a product called AppPortal from a Emergent
Online (www.99point9.com).  It integrates with SecureID, there is actually a
Citrix specific product of SecureID.  We have two front-end web servers with
three back-end Citrix servers for this entire configuration.

I'm about to embark on a teleworking project and would like to ask you guys
the following...

I was going to be using Cisco-based 3des VPNs out to clients who will use
the vpn client s/w loaded on their machines, an adsl connection and citrix
for a remote desktop.

I was going to employ a securID or similar box to provide additional
security.

Could anyone out there recommend any other options?  I want the connection
to be very secure and allow for a concurrent usage of up to 50 clients
coming in at any one time.

Your help will be much appreciated...

Regards,

Dave.
