The Linux-based devices, which will cost $995 to $9,995 depending upon the number of users licensed, will compete most directly with virtual-private networks (VPNs) and hosted applications, such Citrix's GoToMyPC.

The prices between the competing products differ sharply. An enKoo device with a 25-user license is already being advertised by online retailers for $1,495. A 25-user license for the basic GoToMyPC, which also enables access to applications via a Web browser, costs $3,285. VPNs, which enable remote access by creating private data "tunnels" over the public Internet, are typically sold to small businesses in the form of thin servers or routers that vary widely in their sophistication and range in price from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars.
