In most cases, the best way to do remote box office is to set up a Terminal Services server inside your network and provide a VPN solution from the remote site to the router.

An inexpensive Linksys VPN router will provide adequate router to router VPN services inexpensively - or will provide remote VPN software for computer to router VPN. More expensive routers like Cisco have VPN software that accompanies the router as well.

In all cases, remote box office or work at home should be set up using a VPN connection.

Note: if installing on terminal server 2003, you may need to switch it between 'execute' and 'install' mode to actually install Theatre Manager.

If you are using remote box office and ticket scanning for access control at the same venue, it is advisable to set up the wireless access point to talk to the VPN router and send all data through the VPN tunnel as a point of extra security.
