Yes it is possible using windows 2000 server all you have to do is enable
terminal services on your server
it will give you a 90 day trial period then you will have to by how ever
many seats you need from Microsoft
and the nice thing about it is you can have all 12 of your people logging in
from outside at the same time and
still have there same profiles as if they where sitting at there desk...

Thanks for the help...I actually did a little research and found out
that my Netopia Router can use used with a VPN for up to 100 users. It
seems alot cheaper than buying the TS licenses from
Microsoft....Thanks again

I would suggest you take a good look at everything Microsoft Small Business
Server SBS 2003 has to offer. It includes Share Point Server, ISA, Exchange
and more along with several TS licensses.

Good luck

Jim
