Jerry,
I will have to check into this. It should be very useful. How would you compare it to using ssh with port forwarding? I was thinking that ssh was pretty secure when I tried that. I don't use it inside the office, but used it when connecting from the outside. However, I have not been doing that much lately after I noticed all the attacks coming in trying to guess my password. I just shut off outside access via ssh altogether. I don't have high speed at home,
so have just not been trying to work from home lately.
I think I was maybe actually thinking more about
moka5 rather than Hamachi as a way to replace coLinux the last time I mentioned Hamachi . I downloaded
moka5 the other day and ran the program, but nothing seems to happen when I run the
program, I get no error message and nothing seems to be happening. I did not download
a specific virtual machine for moka5 to run, so perhaps I need to do that. I think I need to learn more about
moka5 as the new coLinux seems to have some sort of problem transmitting the binary fax
files via the databaseserver.tcl Tcl socket connection. I have not been able to figure out why
that doesn't work. I think it may be something to do with the tuntap and slirp methods it
uses to connect the coLinux virtual machine to the network which is somewhat different than the tapwin32 that the older
coLinux uses, I think. Everything works fine on the old coLinux. But Kathy's computer will
not run the old coLinux for some reason.

Alex,
I figured out how to get Hamchi working on Puppy 3.0.1, and it's
actually very easy. The main Hamchi page for download is here:
http://hamachi.cc
Hamachi connects the ham0 virtual adapter to a Hamchi server, hence
the address of 5.131.105.XXX or in that range. So it's using the
Hamachi severs as a switchboard. You give each machine you're on with
Hamachi a Hamchi network name, and that's how you search for another
machine-- by it's network name. You can password protect the Hamachi
logon as well.
Puppy 3.0.1 has the required device /dev/net/tun by default, so all
you have to do is get the two binaires tuncfg (which is a daemon tht
has to be running for Hamachi to work) and hamachi from the download
package.
Then, you do this:
modprobe tun (to load the kernel module)
tuncfg (to load the daemon)
hamachi-init (this sets up the hamachi files in /root/.hamachi)
and you're ready to either run hamachi from the command line or use a
GUI frontend.
I used ghamachi which was a guick and easy download on Puppy. Easy to
find and download.
That's it. Then you set up your networks on each machine and connect.
There's a really nice Linux Hamachi HOWTO here.

The Linux Hamachi download includes source and binaries. Slackware
has a package for the tun kernel module.
