Brian:
Heya. One caveat to Charles' reply that may be entirely
obvious already: you need to have an "SSH account" on one of the
machines in the remote system in order to setup such a tunnel. So
you can use this method to, say, securely tunnel web access to
weblet running on your LEAF box. But you can't use it to access,
say, Amazon.com. :)
I couldn't tell from your question which one you were
considering...
cheers,
Scott
