I considered that but it seems insecure.  I do have a few ports pointing 
to the device already though so that would just open all of them.  I 
suppose it would be no worse than using the NetBSD box as my gateway router.

I will try your suggestions.

I don't think so.  I am pretty sure that I read that the first argument 
to tunnel must be an address on the host server.  Not sure where I read 
that though as I have been doing a lot of research in the last day or 
two.  I couldn't find it in the man page.

OK, found it.  It was a statement in an email from kre@.  Robert - can 
you give us a citation?  Should the man page be updated?
