    Have you looked into MS IIS?  It sounds like you're a MS shop and if that's the
    case IIS would be a great fit.

    Looking for recommendations for a private virtual network "server"
    (95/98/NT software or "network appliance") to place on the internal
    network side of a firewall.
    
    Objective is to have external/Internet users, via software on their
    Win 95/98/NT laptop / PC and their standard connection to the
    Internet, to be able to mount shares being made available by the
    corporate NT server on the internal network. The firewall would allow
    external connections to tunnel through it to the internal VPN server.
    The VPN server would handle authentication, data encryption /
    decryption, addressing / routing, etc.
    
    The way I see it, the remote user's PC/Laptop would appear as a node
    on the internal network and would have access to all devices on the
    internal network.
    
    So far all the solutions I have found are associated with full blow
    firewalls - this is not an option due to cost and skill constraints
    on part of the end user organization. All that is needed is a
    PVN-only solution with maintenance limited to add/deleting users and
    delivering software to remote end users.
    
    BTW: The "firewall" is a NetGear RH348 ISDN Router with Dynamic NAT
    turned on. It supports tunneling one external IP address (the
    router's) to an internal network IP address.
    
    Thanx!
