Note that I'm connected via wireless lan here at work (our wireless lan
doesn't connecto to our internal lan directly due to PCI issues) then to
our internal network via VPN.

We are using Cisco with Cisco's vpn client software. I am running
Fedora core 4 on my laptop and I can fetch 10,000 rather chubby rows (a
hundred or more bytes) in about 7 seconds.

So, postgresql over vpn works fine here. Note, no windows machines were
involved in the making of this email. One is doing the job of tossing
it on the internet when I hit send though.
