I think he may be looking at the form where you must telnet to a gateway program on the firewall (which has monitoring capability), which then makes the telnet connection to the end point for you. The only option in cases like this is someting like httptunnel (port 80 if available) and ssh or zebedee feeding through it. In a Linux home situation, or a university or similar, ssh can be implemented. SSH is not widespread or even as accepted in areas outside of Linux which tends make people underestimate the difficulties in implementing an SSH only environment. Just coz its a good idea, doesnt mean the world should, must or even does use it, and currently from my experiance, linux is the exception in conciously moving to SSH.
