Hi,
My turn to be more clear about my goals.
1, the commands I provided are the exact ones I will be using, save for
substituting whatever credentials, as in username and password.
My ssh tool needs those details.
2. I will be only doing some from my main DOS computer.
3. even when I say ssh into the dreamhost provided for curtain Up
Distribution, I still must provide credentials of some kind.
Its going to be my stand alone Linux box.

when I currently ssh, will use shellworld as an example, my software can
either work with a command like this,
ssh2d386 -B -p845 klewellen shellworld.net
Or this
ssh2d386 -B [email protected]
the second one takes me into the setup Ron built for things like the VPN
door.
I am going to need something comparative to run my ssh program.
Depends whether you want to ssh into said linux box only while at the same
premises or from anywhere there is internet available. If you want to ssh
into it from *anywhere* then a domain name is one way to do it. Another way
would be vpn.
If you only need to ssh into the box "locally" ie, while you are on the same
premises as where the box is running, then there is no need for domain name
or vpn complications.
