This is fine so long as your system is directly connected to the public Internet, but doesn't work if going through a NAT router of some kind. We use quite a few LinkSys VPN boxes at client sites because they're cheap, easy to configure, and reliable. Unfortunately they're not easy to query to find status which is why I started using the sshclient service I posted here last week.
