I'm the Network Administrator on both ends.

I've discovered that the answer to my question is nothing. As plemieux72 pointed out, all I get is access. For remote control once access is established, I've turned to the Remote Desktop for XP clients, and VNC for Win98 clients. This provides the GUI that I needed.<br />
<br />
Thanx for the help folks. I'll be splitting the points.

I'm configuring my first VPN. I'm using a Netscreen 5GT Extended running ScreenOS 5.0 at work, and using Netscreen-Remote for client-side access. I'm working on the policies that govern the connection, but I still don't understand what I'll be able to see when the connection is complete.<br />
What should I expect? I want to use the widest selection of services (ANY). Once the client software negotiates the connection, what happens next?

What does a VPN allow me to see on the remote network?

A virtual private network (VPN) is a network that uses a public telecommunication infrastructure, such as the Internet, to provide remote offices or travelling users access to a central organizational network securely. VPNs encapsulate data transfers using secure cryptographic methods and other security mechanisms to ensure that only authorized users can access the network and that the data cannot be intercepted.
