  • What is required for "Solutions", Inc. to support our System I5?

For Solutions to connect to your site free of additional charges we need to be able to connect to the network using only the VPN software integrated into Windows XP/2000. This means there has to be a server device on the client network that supports PPTP or L2TP VPN connections. They are both industry standard VPN connections that require no extra software, client licensing or installation for Solutions or their customers. They are well supported protocols, specifically by Microsoft and their Server and ISA technologies, as well as Cisco, Linksys, and a number of other 3rd party hardware and Linux based appliances.

We do not support, free of charge, connections based on other VPN clients, such as Linksys EasyVPN, Cisco VPN client, Juniper Netscreen Remote, or Sonicwall VPN clients. The reasoning behind this is a number of these clients cannot be loaded on the same machine as competing products. We would have to choose one client and load it on all of the machines that are used for support at Solutions still limiting the client’s choice of hardware. Or we would have to have support staff load and unload the particular software for the remote site every time they need to access it, resulting in longer support times for the client. In addition many of these clients are licensed on a per-installation basis.

We have on occasion used other clients on a short term basis for projects with more demanding time-sensitive needs, but the setup time and use of these products was included with the support billing for the project.
