VPN Connectivity From Iraq And Kuwait?

Posted by timothy on from the time-sensitive dept.

direktorjb writes "I have an urgent need to connect about 6 users in Baghdad and another 6 in Kuwait to an AS400 app (5250 emulation) back in the states. Is anyone aware of a decent ISP in those regions? If I cant get a reliable ISP (and therefore a solid VPN connection), what are my other choices? Should I check out VSAT?"

    I'd be a bit careful on your creation of this VPN. Last I checked, Iraq isn't one of the countries that the US allows exportation of high-encryption, and the establishment of a secure (encrypted) vpn connection between the states and iraq will certianly raise a few eyebrows.

    This is really no joke -- I'd contact the DoC or whoever is working on Iraqi Economic Development -- supposedly Cheney is personally heading all of this up. If you can get in with these crooks, an internet connection shouldn't be a problem.
