The SOHO can be upgraded to use the MUVPN clients option.  
This feature allows single remote users to securely connect to the 
SOHO through an IPSec VPN tunnel and access network resources 
on the Trusted network.  Complete documentation on configuring 
your SOHO once this upgrade option has been purchased and 
redeemed can be found online at:
