VPN for server-server connectivity? The only VPN I've played with is 
Cisco clients from WinX and Mac.

What's the VPNy way to VPN back into my server at home when I don't 
have root on the remote (Linux) machines? I want to throw stuff in cron 
on the remote boxes too. Wouldn't I need root to set up permanent VPN 
tunnels / static routes from the remote clients?

What VPN software are we talking about?

I called Cox. They say their not blocking inbound to my IP. Yet, I move 
services around to random ports and can still never get in. Perhaps I'm 
doing something stupid in my Linksys?

Ponder,
