I just did an experiment with port forwarding.  I redirected my 
telnet port to my HTTP port.  It worked.  Maybe if my nose stops 
running I will be able to go and try printer port forwarding.

As far as security goes, I figure the firewall can limit requests to 
the remote office's IP address.

What Covad wants to do is assign public IPs to all internal devices 
including PCs.  Is that secure?  How many IPs should be needed to 
connect an e-mail server, a printer, and a few PCs to the Internet?
