Of the three, RWW is the safest and the most flexible. VPN opens up your

One of my clients has SBS Server and a desktop. Going through RWW takes

Is it better to go through RWW or can port 3389 be opened and pointed to
that computer. What is the difference and which is more safe? Or What
about VPN. Can some body please give difference and advantage/disadvangae
on RWW, RDP and VPN please.
