Changing router settings - on either side - is not an option for me. The
router will be given to me preconfigured "the right way" and I just have to
work with it that way. From the perespective of the networking people in the
main office, as long as it works correctly for dialing in from a standalone
Win95 box (standalone in the sense that it is just the one WSin95 box connected
to just the one router) then all is well. My setup is different in that I
already have a local private network and I want to merge in this router as
transparently as possible.

This is what I am looking for. All my boxes should be able to access the main
office but the main office can only know about the one box on my side. At
minimum, I want my Linux to see the main office while at the same time being
able to be a part of the private network for resource sharing, etc.
