A remote access server enables users who are not on a local
network to access, retrieve, file, and print services as though
they were. For example, people telecommuting to the office from
home may dial into a remote access server. Through that server,
users may access drives and printers in the office as though they
were connected to the internal office LAN. Security is a paramount
consideration in remote access applications. A remote access server
