Would you please point me in the right direction for details on
accomplishing this?

I'd like to be able to use X across my 100 Mb lan (we're both inside
the firewall), plus I'd like to know what would be necessary to do
that securely from outside.

I don't mind reading and following instructions, so simply pointing me
to the right solution would be fine. I would rather start with
a recommended solution than road testing 15 different solutions found
on the internet.

Thanks for your help.
