Thanks Mark. I just read your post today, and, coincidentally, I was "playing" with PuTTy earlier. Unfortunately, I don't have port 22 forwarded on my router at home and, a related issue, I haven't been able to get remote admin to my router. My office firewall is probably preventing communication with that port also. I'll forward port 22 tonight, and see if PuTTy can enable SoftSqueeze.
I may have another way around. Last night, I forwarded every port between 2000 and 65534 (I did limit access to my office PC's IP address!). This morning, a port scan of my home PC from my office shows port 3389 and port 9000 as "open". I think I can use my router's "virtual server" functionality to route a WAN connection to 3389 to LAN port 3483. There's a setting in SoftSqueeze to tell it what port is the slimproto port. If I set that to 3389, maybe that will give SoftSqueeze the access that it needs to 3483. I do like the idea of using SSH, then I can eliminate the access controls. I need to learn a lot more about PuTTY and SSH, though. I don't even understand how I can forward port 22 and not give the world SSH access to my PC. (To someone who understands SSH, that question is probably nonsensical.)
