Hi Peter,
I want ;-) to discourage you: one year ago, we had problems by installing
OSS access via "the web" - our firewall (checkpoint) did not match the
requirements of SAP. Two guys on our side and some guys from SAP tried to
create harmony ;-) but without success. Now we use an ISDN line instead :-(
So: whatever you want do do: check if your firewall is supported by SAP and
ask them to tell you the required configuration.
