ssh has lots of nice things you can use like scp with compression etc.
But so far as data being passed out the online machine. Doesn't that
happen with every message sent out? I see the machines address in the
headers of all messages.

Yeah, I guess this is the way to go. I had hoped to be able to
hi-jack the ppp connection somehow, whichever machine it was on since
I don't really want one single machine to be setup as a gateway.
I'd really need another machine for that so will get by with the
current setup for now.
