Hi,

I have a similar set up and am thinking of just using ssh port
forwarding and squid/cyrus to give web/imap access to computers on the
wireless side. Unfortunately I don't yet have a wired box, just the
wirelss router/adsl modem.

It's a pain in the neck and I am just hoping that I don't have any
problems till then.
