Sorry for the delay. I was out. VPN is a technology we use in our lab since a year. It is just a technique to segment and control networks. It is a technology more subtle than subnetworking but it does not change the philosophy. For instance people dialing directly to our modems belong to a VPN with some extended controls: you need a certificate to be identified. Then you have access to all resources of the lab, including to IUCr journals since you are recognized as a legitime meber of the lab. Connecting to the lab throu a FAI and through our firewall does not give' that right since you do not belong to a VPN of the lab. Thus there is no problem for access to the journals. Regards.
