Maybe the VPN modes are stacked a little too much?

I'm using 1024x768. I'm not sure of the other settings. I'll have to check when I go home. Even so, remote desktop seems to be the best solution for my environment. Performance is surprisingly excellent. I connect to a remote machine running an X-windows server and use that to connect to an AIX box. It's almost as fast as controlling a machine on my local network. So VPN by itself seems fine. The remote desktop option also gives me the ability to disconnect in the middle of a long task and come back later.
One of my personal requirements for a DBA job is good remote access. I'm contract to hire at the moment with talks scheduled for next week to discuss becoming a permanent hire. I would have had serious reservations if I couldn't apply patches remotely.
