Oh, the original question about using SSH tunnels was from another
poster.  A responder suggested solving the problem with a VPN, so I
offered my configuration as a working example of slimservice over VPN
from a far-away slimserver.

I've accessed my slimserver from various places; work, parents' house,
friends' houses, even over Verizon's EVDO network and was able to use
uncompressed FLAC in all cases except EVDO (where I had to turn the
bitrate down to <=128 kbps).  Slimserver uses http to stream music
data, which is nice because it's relatively low overhead.

I agree with your point though, that you do need a decent broadband
connection for this to work without bitrate limiting.

Since the SB doesn't support ssh directly, an ssh tunnel would require
a laptop, which is apparently vacation contraband for the original
poster...
