I have done a home PC connection to a work LAN in the following way:

PC <=> modem <==> modem <=> Terminal Server (Annex) <=> ethernet

The inexpensive side of the connection is the home PC and modem, all of
the big time stuff is at the office.  A terminal server is a great way
to go, if it can handle CSLIP and routing (RIP).  KA9Q [NOS] (PPP.12)
included not only PPP but CSLIP, as well.  I would recommend using CSLIP
or PPP with VJ header compression to do this type of connection.  It would
be faster and more reliable.  The Telebit NetBlazer is a worthwhile 
alternative which can handle all of these protocols for Wide Area Networking.
E-mail me for more info.
