Hi Ellis,
Well, that part has me flumoxed. Rasphone should certainly work on Vista
Home Premium - I set up a test connection on a Home Premium machine here;
and it worked okay. So (as far as I know) there's no fundamental reason your
customer can't use a dial-up or VPN connection - except for the DEP error
they get, which seems to be some kind of malfunction on that specific
machine.
Right now I have no idea why Rasphone would generate such an error. Best I
can suggest is that, there may be a corrupt phonebook. Back up the user's
*.pbk file, then delete the original and re-create the VPN entry from
scratch. See if you still get a DEP error. If you do ... well, that's very
weird. I would just flatten the box and re-install Vista from scratch;
hunting down the root cause and fixing it, could take far longer.
Good luck!
