[p4] client on secured network

[Sam Ehrlichman]

Thanks for all the comments.  What I don't understand is this.  A number 
of folks have suggested using ssh tunnelling, and referred me to this 
documentation: http://www.perforce.com/perforce/technotes/note022.html.  
But this seems to describe a situation where the client has complete 
access to the "big bad network" and the server is behind a firewall.  
This is not the situation I am in.  Rather, the *client* is behind a 
firewall and the server is on the open network. 

Any suggestions?

Thanks again,
Sam
