ChrisPohts,
I'm trying to gain an understanding of your environment in regard to RAS and VPN. With VPN, a good portion of the throughput is consumed by the encryption, a necessary evil if tunneling through a public network like the internet. On a high speed internet connection, it's a small price to pay. If they're RASing however, why VPN, unless of course they RAS to an ISP.

I am writing this from home right now, RAS'd in to my work at 26.4 Kbps, and there is no significant difference in speed testing either "NET USE" or KiX's "USE". Both were nearly instant.
