connecting from the office to my home *solution*

[John Gray]

Thanks guys!

  Okay, so, I setup an SSH server at home, and am using PuTTY at work to
create a tunnel.  I had to use port 443, as port 22 is blocked.  Seeing that I
had to use a tunnel, I decided to use RDC instead of VNC.  Viola!  It works
like a charm.  Both RDC and VNC work great through the tunnel.  

  One last question: Anyone know if what I'm doing will look suspicious to
network security and raise a flag, or will it just look like normal traffic?

Thanks again,
John
