It's bad form to reply to myself, but what the heck.

Just for the fun of it I set this up on my SMC router.  Now *I*
can ssh to *my* iMac.  It was pretty straightforward except that
I entered the wrong IP address on the router and instead of finding
my iMac I was loggin into my Sharp Zaurus (a Linux PDA).  If you
have trouble setting it up feel free to contact me on or off the
list.

You'll want to have a shell account someplace outside that you
can test from, otherwise you may have a hard time telling whether
it's working or not--your traffic will probably never go past your
router.
