Hi Bert --
It is always amusing and instructive to read your posts, and the other replies.
I can only say that AC is morphing into something that was probably never envisioned at its inception, when most FP's and IM's and Peds were in 1-3 physician offices in a single location. Those days are so over.
I don't forward to port 3389. Seems dangerous
I have no interest in running a remote office -- I can hardly keep up with the one I have. My interest in "remote access" is limited to being able to do my records at home, and look up stuff when I get after hours calls, so I don't need all that high end hardware = but it is interesting to hear a little about how those big networks work.
