The least expensive way to do this is the use the PPTP VPN functionality
that is built into NT4 Server, and almost all other Windows Products. The
NT4 server can support multiple concurrent VPN connections. Other Windows
products (XP, etc....) can only handle one VPN connection at a time.
The advantage of this, is your remote users should easily be able to log
onto the server from anywhere where they have an internet connection while
travelling.
No hardware is required for this.
