Wait a minute. Don't you realize that you can connect with WinCIM over the
Internet? In WinCIM 1.4 you go into the Special menu, then Session
Setting... and then choose WINSOCK in the Connector drop-down list as well
as Internet in the Network drop-down list. 

If you are behind a firewall you also need to open a plug-gw on port 4144
and you need to go into the CIS.INI file and change occurences of
"compuserve.com" to "firewall-machine.yourdomain.com". I don't have an
original CIS.INI here any more but I find lines like the following in
mine:

LogonParams=firewall-machine.yourdomain.com

HostIPName=firewall-machine.yourdomain.com
