Publication on SANS Institute FAQ - Microsoft PPTP Vulnerabilities by Hawke Robinson
In recent dialogue with someone, I thought to see what the comments and feedback have been on my document on Microsoft's implementation of PPTP was as published by the SANS Institute. I have copied the various comments here. What is most notable is some are as recent as 2007, and most were using my document as the a reference source on the topic.

The Global Benefits of Remote Worker & Student Programs In A Global Economy
The Internet and new technologies have made remote work and study a much more viable option than 20 years ago. Companies and educational institutions can benefit from significant cost savings, improved productivity and worker morale. According to some studies, in 2005 around a quarter of the working population in many countries worked remotely (Australian Telework Advisory Committee 2005). Many millions of workers and students around the world now work remotely either part time or full time. The world as a whole can benefit environmentally from reducing the impact of so many commuters. Remote workers are shown on the whole to provide increased productivity, have less sick time and leave, and have better morale (Aspire Magazine 2007). Many people and organizations in the US are resistant to change and have continued to fight the adoption of remote worker projects, while many other countries are gaining significant advantages by wholeheartedly embracing the benefits.
