Looking for a PVN-only server to put behind the firewll

["Steven W. Engle" <sengle () dhtinc com>]

Looking for recommendations for a private virtual network "server" 
(95/98/NT software or "network appliance") to place on the internal 
network side of a firewall.

Objective is to have external/Internet users, via software on their 
Win 95/98/NT laptop / PC and their standard connection to the 
Internet, to be able to mount shares being made available by the 
corporate NT server on the internal network. The firewall would allow 
external connections to tunnel through it to the internal VPN server. 
The VPN server would handle authentication, data encryption / 
decryption, addressing / routing, etc.

The way I see it, the remote user's PC/Laptop would appear as a node 
on the internal network and would have access to all devices on the 
internal network.

So far all the solutions I have found are associated with full blow 
firewalls - this is not an option due to cost and skill constraints 
on part of the end user organization. All that is needed is a 
PVN-only solution with maintenance limited to add/deleting users and 
delivering software to remote end users.

BTW: The "firewall" is a NetGear RH348 ISDN Router with Dynamic NAT 
turned on. It supports tunneling one external IP address (the 
router's) to an internal network IP address.

Thanx!
