This is true but it comes at the expense of your employees time to login to
the vpn every day ** which btw VPN's are another HUGE annoyance in linux **
and then you have to waste the money & expenses on running a few VPN servers
to handle the load of the entire wireless user base.  Which also means you
have to pay someone to watch over the VPN servers and keeping everything
going.  The VPN solution is completely not an option for small companies and
is still a large waste of money for midsized companies.
