    Is this over 802.11 or one of the cellular networks?

    For a low cost solution you can use a combination of WEP/PPTP since both
    of these are built into the Pocket PC OS. For a stronger level of
    security you can opt for an IPSEC setup using something like the MOVIAN
    IPSEC client which supports a wide range of IPSEC gateways. If you
    require strong authentication, RSA provides token based login for Pocket
    PC as well.

    It depends on your budget and level of security you require.

    HELLO

    We have an application that could use the Pocket PC as a
    supervisor/adminstrator client of the application.

    so we want to exploit this, and implement it in the the pocket PC
    outside
    the lan in order to admistrate application.

    in that case, the Pocket pc sHould access a server in the lan.

    i have 2 questions:

    1.what are the possible ways that could permit the pocket PC which is
    outside the lan, to access a server in the LAN?

    2. how to secure this communication?
