Re: creating MS terminal server proxy with authentication

["Kevin Bogac" <kbogac () ibm net>]

I added a second interface to a NT server and configured it to only accept
PPTP connections. Then bypassed the firewall and connected the new interface
to the internet. Users then connected to the server using PPTP from anywhere
on the internet. Once connected they started a Terminal Server session.
Worked great with a 56k connection and useable but slow with a 28.8k
connection. PPTP supports data and password encryption and it's free.
