[X-Unix] Run a VPN on a Mac?

[Andre Perwin]

If your goal is to access files on your home computer while you are 
away, perhaps all you need to use is Secure Shell (SSH) built-in to OSX.

Apple's Remote Desktop will let you "take-over" a remote computer, but 
it is $$$.

You would, however, need a static IP number on your home system (i think).
