any clear instructions on the internet anywhere which

You don't need RRAS to connect remote computers to your Terminal Server. All you need to do is forward port 3389 thru your firewall to your internal Terminal Server, then have remote users address their Remote Desktop Clients to the WAN IP Address of your Firewall.

Picture of the port forwarding here

Since the RDP Traffic on port 3389 is natively encrypted there's no need for a VPN (although you can run RDP Trraffice thru a site-to-site VPN if desired or if one already exists

I have RRAS setup on another server do allow 2 users living in the stone ages w/o Internet Access to dial-into my RRAS Server then open a RDP Session to my Terminal Server. Other than this, I have no use for RRAS

Plenty of how tos here
