excellent suggestions, gabe.
i also agree; one of the great things about linux is with X forwarding
and just plain ssh tunneling (or even a simple ssh session), you can
resolve around 90% of problems they're experiencing, i'd guess.
as for dynamic IPs, definitely a potential problem. you can sign up for
an account at no-ip.org or dyndns.org (there is a client updater that
takes your current public ip and points the url you specify to the
public ip)...
i've also been told that one can use netcat to tunnel ssh traffic past a
NAT router without forwarding ports (to "repeat" traffic), but this is
something i'm still studying and looking into.

Bill Gates is to hacking as Sid Vicious was to the Sex Pistols: no talent, everyone hates him, and he's just in it for the fame and money.
