Yep.. I use SSH all the time - but not for tunneling on XP machines
(due to the complications by loopback + the fact that it isn't
portable - meaning I must install client software on a different
machine in order to connect).

I use the WRT54G with the Sveasoft firmware to our office "public"
network. It has a built in VPN engine...
