For the time being, yes. VNC works well too. There is a bit of latency, but much less then one sees using Outlook over a dial up connection. Unfortunately, in some parts of the country Comcast is filtering IPSec traffic to encourage 'business' customers to upgrade to business level - higher cost of course - service. So far mid-Michigan isn't affected, but Comcast didn't start blocking traffic on ports 137-139 until July 1st, when they fully transitioned from ATTBI. -----Original Message----- From: First, Tim [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: Thu 8/21/2003 10:13 PM To: [log in to unmask] Cc: Subject: Re: AFS access from off-campus One painful acronym: VPN. -tim
