Dr J,

I've got a client with a similar problem, and I considered this:

And here is an article from a fellow that incorporated this solution into
his company.  It is compatible with M$ based clients (2000, 98, etc), and
looks solid. URL:

You're welcome, of course! Although I didn't do much. I know that's a big
relief off your mind!  I hope this VPN suggestion helps.  :)

Sorry I did'nt respond sooner; I'm experimenting with wine/sat modem
drivers and right now all I have is a proxy setup rather than real NAT. 
I have to use a browser to wade thru the messages at present...not fun.
