I thought -L was for the other forwarding.. for example:

        mail.blackavar.com listens on port 25
        I want the box I'm SSHing from to listen on port 25
        so I do:
                ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] -L 25:blackavar.com:25

which is slightly different than:

        pop.paul.com listens on port 110
        I want the box I'm sshing -to- to listen on 110 and
                connect me with pop.paul.com
        so I do:
                ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] -R 110:pop.paul.com:110

The difference is -L listens on the box you're running ssh on and -R 
listens on the box you're sshing to.. at least, that's my understanding..
