The Server Project: PS1 VPN Network...

SC's Virtual Private Network allows 'psuedo LAN' networking across various non-local machines. In short, a laptop connected to the internet in Europe could communicate with the PS1 Server in Buffalo, NY (as well as any other machines that were communicating with PS1) just as if it were hooked up to a port switch in the same room. Speed is obviously limited by various ISP's, but the basic principle is sound -- and various user-level services are accessible.
