   I will be going to Thailand to work on some graphic design projects. I am   
   taking a laptop for this purpose. But I have been thinking about trying to   
   tap into my own system in the U.S. using a virtual private network, but I   
   don't really know anything about it. What I *think* it does is allow me to   
   use a computer elsewhere to actually access the data and programs on my base   
   system and do work just as if I was in my own office. Is that really   
   possible? Sounds too good to be true. If it is, where can I go to find out   
   more info so I can get this set-up before July 6 when I leave? We currently   
   have Windows XP/Windows 2000 peer-to-peer network and cable modem.
