I apologize if this has already been discussed, but after some cursory
googling and searching I haven't found an answer yet.
I am the "computer guy" for our heating oil company. The heating oil
software is running on a SCO box, and everyone in the office connects to
it over our Windows network. After hours people need to connect to the
SCO box to check customer information. Currently they do it through
their own windoze PCs with their own high speed internet, or through a
company laptop through dial up.
Using their own high speed access makes things much quicker and we have
subsidized access for some of the people. But since it is windows,
their PCs are often screwed up, and I get many after hours calls saying,
"I can't connect to the VPN or I can't connect to the Internet".
I have played with Knoppix and absolutely love how it can recognize
hardware, and I have installed Suse on a home system to play with for
myself, but I have little knowledge of Linux.
Is their a live CD like Knoppix that has microsoft VPN support, that the
remote users can pop it in their system, restart, connect to the
microsft VPN and open a terminal window to the SCO box?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks
Sean Flynn
