I do just that.

I use ZEBEDEE to handle the secure connection.
http://www.winton.org.uk/zebedee/
and VNC
http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/
instead of PC-Anywhere to login.

Because of the firewall at work, I only have a single port to 
get out through. Zebedee lets me tunnel out through that port, 
and opens up access to any port I want at home for telnet, 
VNC, .etc access to my home machine.  Compressed, encrypted, the works.

VNC is like PC-Anywhere, but it runs on practically anything to control
practically anything else.  Xwindows to control NT/Win9X, NT/Win9x to 
control Xwindows on unix.  Either to control a Mac.  I think there
is even a palm version to control anything else.  Don't think I'll
try that.  Tiny screen to control a huge screen :-(

All freeware of course.

Work also supplies Shiva VPN software that by the way, I
have never had any problem getting to work through STN, but
I often use the Zebedee method because it is easier to startup.

Subject:        [STN]  general "VPN" type question

I have been busy building-out my network here in my "lab" (make that 
read "basement"!)  I now have a Linux (RH 7.1) box I am using as my 
"FTP" server box, I might want to fuss with HTTP a bit - and I am going 
to be playing around with other Windows and Linux related things.

In other words - having one hell of a time!

Here's the deal:  I would like to know if there is any way I can "VPN", 
(or something simular) into my network - via a secure connection.

I am -NOT- talking about "secure shell" or such-like - I want a secure  
way to access my entire network - in a manner simular to what M$ 
provides.

1.  Does anyone have any ideas?
2.  Does anyone know if -STN- supports it (other than by simply opening 
a port to the outside world)  -Inbound- VPN masq (simular to the way 
-OUTBOUND- VPN masq works) would be interesting.

Has anyone tried it?

Any comments???

Jim
