I realize that, hence the suggestion of using the ips provided by
telocity.

My point is, there are two issues here.  The connectivity issue, I
think, can be fixed without a vpn solution.  I just didn't see anything
in the original posting that indicated he wanted/needed to protect the
data.

As I recall, the question was about routing from A to B, nothing noted
regarding encryption or protection.  He may not care who sees the stuff,
who knows.
