It looks like there are several viable solutions, so that shipping equipment
around should not be necessary. Peter has offered as setup similar to what
you are providing and several others have offered to test.
I appreciate all the offers and will definitely respond, but in a few days so
that I can answer (hopefully) once to everyone at the same time while having
in mind all the possibilities offered.
I'm also going to write up what is needed in the Developers guide so that the
information will be there for other systems (such as Mac OSX). For example,
though it is handy at most once a year, I really do not need root access, and
in those rare occasions, an email should work quite fine :-)
In the mean time, best wishes for the Easter weekend.
