Have you tried running your ssh server on port 443? That's normally used for https, which means that firewalls generally will let it pass, _and_ because it's an encrypted protocol, application filters may give up on trying to filter it. I've been using this setup successfully for years. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
