Can Web Based VPN Solutions Do It All?

Bingo Foo asks: "My company is in the process of reviewing replacements to our existing multi-platform VPN, which has now been discontinued. I was under the impression that every major vendor's OS ships with a VPN configuration solution. What gives? Are these not standard enough? Are they not secure enough? not flexible enough? Regardless, our IT department is leaning toward a clientless, web-based solution, which frankly sounds too good to be true. Can simply directing your browser at the portal allow X11, NFS, SMB, AFP, ssh, etc. transparently through the firewall? Anyone have experience with Neoteris and their VPN?"

if your organization is like ours and 95% of the time you use the VPN for MS Exchange access check out the HiPerExchange

We have a netscreen 10 that has a VPN in it.. It was never implemented because the only access these
people need is our exchange and the public folders. So there was no need to implement a VPN . and we use the Hiperexchnage and it even MSblaster proof
