It has been my experience that it is not necessarily the VPN products that
are the problem as much as the connection.
Get T1's on each end and then see what happens. Does this increase the
cost? HELL yes, but it decreases support issues tremendously.
If anything, can you get buisness class Cable Internet access?
I have DSL users that get kicked ALL the time, but Cable sings right along
while they connect to our T1.
