Harry,
if you have your 3 home machines running Linux, then you shouldn't need
to have ssh sessions between them, although it you want to that it's
fine, your local network will be running over TCP/IP anyway, and it's
unlikely that this will be comprimised, unless data is passed out
through the machine which is connected to the net.
So the simplest way to take advantage of the PPP connection is to set up
IP Masquerading on your Dialup machine, which can use IP range
10.0.0.0/255 on your local network (IE at home) and then the IP for your
ppp connection on the other side.
There is documentation on how to do this at
http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/IP-Masquerade-HOWTO.html
You should find that your kernel (Redhat-6.0) has the Masquerading
support compiled in, and so it's just a matter of configuring ipchains.
Sorry if this isn't what you are asking, but it seems like the solution.
If your stuck and have more questions, and this is what you are trying
to do, email me and I can send you a sample config for the above.

You really shouldn't listen to anything he says... as it may just be an opinion
