I always forget how to setup an ssh tunnel. The correct command can be found in the example script of `veilig e-mail ophalen via een ssh tunnel'.

If you ever tried to use an ASUS AAM6000UG USB modem with Linux, you know this is not an easy thing to do. Luckily Frank Vandenborght has an interesting howto on his homepage.
