clear that my router has just such an option.  It was easy to set up, and I
now have access via ssh from my other machines.  Thanks.

My company is the University of Cincinnati.  They provide Ethernet jacks,
each with an IP address within their network.  Network operations charges a
substantial monthly fee for each connection within their network.

Thanks to all who replied.
