In our case, we already have a VPN solution (Cisco, definatly not our
choice) in place. We wanted a solution that is cross-platform and didn't
require anything to be intalled on the OS and would never be blocked by any
firewall. WebDav fit the bill alhough it sucks prety bad on Windows, it is
still there.
