Oh, and I forgot to mention, latency is a killer.

IP.Networking uses ADSL at both (or multiple) ends, which means you get
~40ms latency at each end, totally ~80ms. While using "Internet" protocols
is fine (HTTP, FTP, VNC, TerminalServer, etc), using "Microsoft" protocols
is a pain. E.g. Windows Admin tools (IISAdmin, etc), using Windows file
shares is painful and forget about using something like FrontPage to
maintain a remote website, it's gastly.

Just my 2c :)
