Hi Scott,
I posted two documents for seting up a SSH tunnel from windows
(desktop) SAS to Sun Unix SAS.

see
http://homepage.mac.com/magdelina/.Public/utl.html
howtosetupconnect.doc and
ssh.zip

Feel free to contact me online of ofline if you have issues. I have
set up SAS connect many times.

Regards
