Was there a smiley missing? That PPP tunnel is a complete subversion of the firewall. I suspect the original correspondent's firewall administrator would take a dim view of such use. Port forwards from inside -> out are less risky to corporate security but if one is going to use them, I'd suggest one make sure that such use doesn't violate explicit corporate policy, which in most companies, is not the same as the firewall configuration rules.
