Howard,

    If you're willing to run another application and you can have a decent 
guarentee that the home/work machines will be on when you need them, then 
Hamachi is exactly what you're looking for -- it creates a private, 
encrypted virtual LAN that connects all of the machines you choose together 
directly, which is -perfect- for what you're trying to do; I do the exact 
same thing -- a copy of VNC and Hamachi are running all the time on all of 
my computers.
    If you're interested, check it out at http://www.hamachi.cc. Be sure to 
grab the latest beta for the newest features and bug fixes.
