I'm all for setting things up with proper security.

In that suggestion, I had avoided using IPSec because of the complexity 
at the time (there were easier options).  These days we use OpenVPN - 
which is a little easier to use than PPTP (I could never figure out how 
to get MPPE working properly).

AFAIK, Mac OS X 10.2 has IPSec available, so there's more incentive for 
me to learn how to set up IPSec properly (FreeS/WAN more specifically).
