Thankyou Nick, thankyou Christopher. I sort of have it working, but not to the original Linux box (RedHat). I used tcpdump to monitor the incoming stuff on the other box (Debian) and saw that I *was* getting some activity. I then set up a telnetd on the Debian box (apt-get beats rpm again), et voila! All I was really bothered about was 'can I do this?'. It's not there yet because I need to get the home LAN to dial out periodically and register with DynDNS or something so I can be sure of getting back in, but I have shown it can be done under controlled conditions. So, there's something funky about how I've got my network set up, but I can track that down at leisure now that I'm happy it's mostly doing what it's supposed to do. I must say it is weird to be able to ssh out from home to a machine on the other side of the world, log in and telnet back to the router box on the shelf and then back into the same machine... Andy
