From an external site, i want to Remote Desktop to a machine on the

i cannot VPN to the workplace because the the local router, like
almost all routers, cannot handle more than one Microsoft PPTP VPN
connection. (Either that or they just don't allow it - pick'em).


So what would be idea is a way to have Remote Desktop client software
have the ability to connect to a "proxy" or "gateway" computer that i
can expose to the Internets, and then that machine can forward the
RDP traffic to the desired machine on the local LAN. It would need to
be on port 80 (HTTP), or if really need be port 445 (HTTPS, with no
valid certificate).


Spelunking through undocumented things, i see an option in the client
software: "Connect From Anywhere", where i can "configure Terminal
Services Gateway settings to connect to remote computers behind
firewalls." Which sounds like exactly what i want. But the going to
my 2k3 server machine, and going to Start->Help->"TS Gateway" yields
no mention of any such technology.

Does such a technology exist, and if so how do i enable it on a
server, and where in the help files in the documentation for it?
