If that's true, it would make my life under Windows much easier. I'll  
have to see about giving it a shot. My current solution to get my  
desktop (LAN) and laptop (VPN) talking to each other is combining a  
forward and reverse SSH tunnel: http://toadstool.se/journal/ 
2005/08/09/using-ssh-to-route-around-damage .. I'm not a big fan of  
this solution, because it means that my packets have to travel 1200  
miles round trip to get to a machine that is only 2 inches away.  
Synergy gets a bit lagged at times.
