Clearly you need to set up these client machines via a VPN so that they
can route whatever packets they want over the connection to your
machine.  If they're running Winders, CIPE may be a good option since
it's available on both Linux and Winders.  PPTP is another option, but
can be a bit more complicated to deal with.
