i've had a lame attempt to start to construct a poor man's vpn
using ssh but on further reading some people find the performance
really poor, on account of tunnelling tcp over ssh over tcp
(some race conditions, apparently). What i think they do
is run pppd on both sides of ssh and route the new IP's
to that. I think. If you can successfuly pull this off
can you post back i'll be interested to know how, thanks!
