[nzlug] connecting two networks?

[Simon]

Hi There,

We have an office in tga on DSL with a fixed IP address and a bunch of
servers in at ICONZs behind a fortigate firewall, but with public
addresses. What im wondering about is creating some sort of secure
link between the two so that all our staff can do things like manage
mysql servers, browse samba shares, ftp etc over that link without
having VPN in or setup ssl tunnels on each pc. I just need a pointer
on the right track rather than a howto please :)

Can this be done over ssh? I like ssh.
