Perhaps you need to assess whether or not you want to consider dropping this class, if you call networking 'crap' it may be the case that you are not cut out for it.
VPN and dial-up remote access are WAN technologies, you will likely design a network's remote access as being VPN based if your remote users or remote offices have decent internet connections and the office has a decent internet connection. This will also be required if there are high bandwidth requirements. If you don't have decent internet connections or public network connections to form virtual private circuits over you may consider using dial-up remote connectivity over the public telephone network. Obviously bandwidth will be limited to 56.6kbps though.
In short;
VPN Advantages:
—————————
Secure
High speed
VPN Disadvantages
—————————–
Potentially expensive
Requires internet in place
Dial Up Advantages
—————————
Cheap
Typically only requires phone line
Dial Up Disadvantages
——————————
Slow
Technically limited if analogue phone lines not available
