   I must be missing something.  Wouldn't that be $800 for 8 additional   
   routers, or are you talking about something else?  Would it be less   
   expenive to let the users use their own equipment and just spend $50 for   
   Netgear's client software?  I'm strongly leaning in that direction,   
   leaving Windows VPN stuff out of the picture.  People from home would   
   have access to the shared drives, or they could Remote Desktop directly   
   to their own boxes at work.   
      
   Is there something I missed?  Maybe this is silly, for some reason not   
   obvious to me?  Anyway, I guess your observation sort of rules out using   
   Windowns solutions.  Thanks.
