If there is dial-in access to these systems or the systems you use to
connect to them, then I'm afraid you are wrong. There is a security
issue to attend to because a cracker (not hacker - hackers aren't bad
guys) doesn't need the internet to access your system if he/she can
get in some other way.
The best way to do what you want to do is with ssh (Secure SHell).
