Yes. Also in W2K Pro and XP.

The most efficient way is to make it with hardware, yes. Small
business VPN-devices aren't that expensive and double as firewalls.
The cost and hardware requirements depend on how many remote
locations you plan to serve, but 500 users doesn't sound like
an awful lot to me.

So the software would be distributed from a remote server as
an ActiveX control (or maybe just a thin client) but the actual
database would be local to the user? Interesting concept to say
the least.

I tend to consider the biggest threat to database integrity to
be the users haphazardly making changes they don't really mean,
so I'd think twice before committing myself to maintaining a
software dependant of a database that the users can play around
with (and break) themselves.
