This is a very good point. In fact, I believe that's what the admins
set up at a company I used to work at.

I've been pondering for a week or so to try to decide what to do in
just this regard, kind of dreading having to learn cvs-arch gateway
setup/ commands etc (my coworker is a windows-must-click-to-do-all
addict unfortunately, although it does healp me build my knowledge,
it can get a bit demanding sometimes...).

This is a great solution! Thanks for reminding me,
