I use it all the time to connect to work through their firewall. I have a e-mail automaton on the linux machine at work. It issues a ppp call command to call my gateway at home. The ppp call script does a ssh command to establish the session. My work and home system then uses nat/snat/masquerading to hide the home network from the work network.
