I've been playig with CIPE, and it either ahtes my network, or it
really hates running on a firewalled host. 

I expect it to work fine as long as traffic to/from the port(s) is
allowed fmr the host(s) in question. In my case, it's trickier :

CIPE server -> Inet -> ISDN Router -> NAT -> firewall w/CIPE

And I think the NAT screws with it somewhat, since I get connections
but no pings across the CIPE interface. But that's OK - I'll either
get "real" bandwidth before I die, or just put an ISDN card in the
firewall and drop the NAT someday. *grin*
