[ale] VNC how to punch thru DSL modem

[Howard A Story]

Yeah,  SSH port forwarding rules.   As long as you can keep a clear head 
during the setup.   Took me a long time to understand what was getting 
forwarded where and how.   With that said you can do the ssh port 
forwarding with putty from a windows box to a sshd server.

I really like sshd filter myself.  Which it would make the freaking ssh 
attack script sources a little more permanent.
