thin client with vpn support

I am looking for a thin client, booting from CD/USB or floppy, connecting through VPN to main office and using citrix connection.
Are there ideas? i found thinclient and pxes but, these seems to have np ipsec.

Anybody have any luck/experience doing this? Particularly for an RDP connection over IPSec VPN...

This works great if the firewall is doing the VPN. Then the thin client is just another machine. I've done this where the TC boots from a local server image and then points to a remote server across a VPN for login.

Having a TC create a VPN is another story. I haven't tried that one since net-net at the firewall is much easier. However it should be possible to create a boot image that does VPN, I haven't tried that.
