Joy unbounded

[andygates]

Our new Cisco VPN client is a parallel-tunneling sort of creature.  This means that while I am securely and be-dongledly plumbed into the NHS N3 network, RDP'd onto a bridgehead machine and then RDP'd onto a couple more after that, I'm also able to use regular internet.  Compared to the last VPN client we had, which hijacked the whole line, this is joy unbounded, for it means that I can carry on with my daily surf while searching entire umpty-terabyte SANs for the furtive logs of sulky patient booking systems, while waiting for their support agents to phone.  Why we picked a product with support agents in New Zealand (GMT+12! woot!) is beyond me, but at least I can get my pr0n empowering and improving web literature now.

Who are the NZ agents?

Plato. They make a patient-letters-and-appointments system which we use. It's got history - the middle layer is FoxPro.
