I use putty from a remote windows computer and slogin from my Ubuntu box using ssh.
I also use dyndns as my domain (name.name.com) so my server is "server.name.name.com".
I can log into my server with (command line) slogin user@name.name.com to log in as a selected user. From putty, I login to name.name.com using ssh port 22.
