If I understand correctly, the one and only thing you are wanting to set up
this VPN for is to share a calendar, correct? And you want to know if VPN is
your only option? Basically, no. It depends partly on how robust this
calendar program is. Do you have a particular calendar program you must use,
or can it be a web-based program or even perhaps a cgi script that can be
accessed on a website? If so, that gives you a few more options... a search
of "web based calendars" or "cgi calendar" will probably give you several
options to look into if you have some flexibility. If it is something that
must reside on your machine and be shared, but without a remote-control type
program (PC Anywhere, etc), then VPN is a good choice. You do want to make
sure that is the only file you have set up for sharing though.
