hmmm... not sure I understand here...  I connect to GWU for my PPP

Different than that. You can use SSH to set up  "poor man's vpn". I'm too
tired to think hard about it right now :) but the end result is your
computer thinks it has a new network interface with an IP address on a
private (10.x.x.x) network. And the other side of the connection is another
machine on that network.

cool - that sounds like it might do the trick...  have any how-to's
off-hand?  :)
