Yup, that's correct. Now we will need a static IP to make this work, unless we set up my end on a Linux box - the MULTINET Linux port knows how to look up hostnames, the original VMS one needs a static IP. Steve is right about the bridge and LAT however, we COULD set up the bridge as a backup and try the MULTINET tunnel as a primary method of connection.

Is that correct? Might be worth going through the motions if you have time, (a) to get the process documented and (b) to provide a good fallback strategy if option 1 using the bridge to connect through to you doesn't work.
