Gregg, Get a cheapo PC for Linux (you can get decent machines for under $100 on ebay). Set it up for SSH (_not_ telnet) and pick a very strong password for your friend to use. (something at least 8 chars long with special characters like $,%,#,@,+,}, etc)
This is essentially how I access my own home lab, it works fine and is reasonably secure.

I'm trying to help out a former co-worker who's studying to be a CCIE but doesn't have access to an ISDN sim. I'm working on granting him access to my home lab. I have DSL with a lame Home Portal combo F/W, USB and Enet hub, can opener and toaster. I have permitted telnet thru this cheapo box. I'm using Exceed on my laptop. Problem is, when I telnet into my laptop, then try to open a telnet from there into my lab, the telnet window only opens up locally on the laptop (I.E - from his host all he will see is DOS prompt - my laptop will have telnet window opened). Tried messing with comspec in Exceed to run telnet.exe instead of command.com (found it to be a reliable way to lock up my laptop). I know I could set up X and export my display, but it's a lot of work and I'm a little leery of security (xhost + :( ) Anybody have any ideas ? Other than loading Linux on my laptop (which of course makes way too much sense).
