Any suggestions? iptunnel (I've got two versions of it, ask me if you can't find one) to establish the tunnelling, and skip to encrypt it. iptunnel allows something quite like a VPN, where all traffic is routed to a single machine, which encapsulates the packets, passes them off to a single machine at the other end, that breaks them out and passes on the packets. skip is AT&T software that encrypts all traffic between two machines, which should work in this case, though I've neve tried it.
