I can do anything I want, but unfortunately have to run two applications on 
Windows via VMWare. (Act! and Quickbooks if you must know.) It doesn't run 
under WINE so I'm stuck, especially since there aren't any customer 
management systems I know of that run on Linux. In any event, its too late to 
revisit that question, so support for Windows is a requirement.

I run everything else on Linux, so any VPN would both have to support stuff 
like NFS, as well as Samba in order to access remote Windows files. Any 
pointers to the easiest way of accomplishing this would be appreciated, such 
as what type of VPN is best to use...
