I work for myself from a small office and have a client who works in another small office on his own. Dell and HP have basic servers for under a grand that come with MS Server 2008 Foundation edition. From what I can tell this version is for small offices and can allow up to 15 users, no expansion without upgrading.

Questions:

Can Revit server run with this version of MS server? Assuming someday (soon!) it will if not now.

In order to get a WAN connection, what are some of the least expensive options to do this? Right now we have cable modem connections to the internet. Is a VPN an option and any advice / input on that would be appreciated.
