VPN and login

[Lauziere, Thomas]

I've had discussions with Cisco about installing a VPN on our PIX firewall,
but I think I missed something.
We've gone over all the intricacies of establishing a connection,
encryption, des, 3des etc., but when I ask them simply, once the tunnel is
established how do I log in to the network and run apps, they balked and
said call the application support people. Cisco is only responsible for
establishing the tunnel. Let me say that our intentions as far as the VPN is
concerned is for remote users only, and I was told they could log in and it
would be the essentially the same as connecting from inside the building.(an
NT4 Win98 network)

I know this is a bit of a rudimentary question for the obvious expertise
exhibited here, but if someone could help me out it would be greatly
appreciated.

Thanks
