Re: Extranet/SSL setup

Hi Gary,

I really appreciate your answers on this website, they have been
invaluable to me.

I do understand the manual on installing a second front end but that is
not an option this company is going to do right now.

They just want to "Open UP" some ports to allow connectivity to a few
clients that have tasks updates to enter in on a particular project.
(Web access of course)
Here is the question he had: "Why can't we just open up whatever
ports we need and allow external access?"

The Citrix or Terminal Services is an option but they would have to do
that for all of the clients. They we just asking why they needed a
terminal emulator.

Again, Thanks in advance for you assistance!
