Subject: vendor access ??

Hi-
Does anybody have any general suggestions about the problem of allowing
a software vendor access to a server machine running their special software,
which is typically in the center of a company's network... so they can 
perform maintenance/fixes?  In such a case I typically would not have 
a problem when they come on site to sit with them and let them work
away, but often the requirement is to do it remotely somehow.

Seems a careful setup would imply a special restricted route from whatever
modem or inbound connection is involved, to a machine quarantined from 
the rest of one's network... with the "quarantine" meaning open 
access into the machine, but very restricted outbound...

Any comments?
Thanks
-Gary
