Then just install putty (a ssh client for windows) on the windows machine and you can access your work machine. I use mutt for mail and find that this works very well when I am traveling.

That way you only have to deal with each piece of mail once. -- David Raeker-Jordan mailto:david@raeker-jordan.net GnuPG key: 1024D/CD956608
