Hoopy.  Thanks, David.

My home network consists of a stallion ePipe VPN router (embedded
OpenBSD 2.6) connected to optus cable, and two Unix boxen.  The ePipe
runs an IPSec tunnel to an ePipe in our Toowong office.

Currently, as an emergency measure, I'm SSH'd down the VPN to my home
box, and using SSH's port forwarding to forward NNTP connections at my
work box down the VPN to my home box, and and back up the cablemodem
to Optus' news server.  Messy, but working.  Gotta have my fix somehow.
