many thanks for all the info - and YES - exploiting an open port
through the firewall is NOT a great idea . I have therefore spoken to
the firewall admin regarding a VPN to home and he is ammenable to the
idea of using openvpn to connect my work machine and home machine -
BUT as long as my home machine is at home and not another company ...
He was worried about me circumventing the idea of a firewall and maybe
opening up a nice hole through their expensive firewall software ;)

I think this will work. The idea of using openvpn and encryption is
very nice.

Many thanks for all the ideas ...
