Have you considered setting up a VPN server? I have a set of scripts and
detailed instructions on getting this set up at:
ftp://duke.eburg.com/pub/linux/ssh-vpn-28062000.tar.gz
If you set up a VPN on your external web server and connect to it from
your office, you'll have a network with two hosts, using IP's that you
select, from a private network block (like 192.168.x.x). When someone
connects from home, they'll become another host on the network, and be
able to connect to any port on the PC behind the ISDN modem.
The scripts were set up for Red Hat 6.2, and work really well there. I
still need to update the scripts (just a bit) for Red Hat 7.0. You no
longer have pty-redir in linuxconf, and ssh protocol 2 is the default
after errata updates from Red Hat, so you have to generate a DSA key
rather than an RSA key for the connection. Only two minor changes here,
but they need to be documented yet. Get in touch with me if you want
to use the scripts under 7.0
