Not sure why they would allow telnet and not ssh. However, since I
assume they are accomplishing this with port blocking, you can get
around it by getting ssh to listen on the telnet port. Or, if you are
using a cable modem/firewall, you can do a port forward. :-)

That's what I thought of, too -- they're probably just blocking the port, and it's a very bad idea
to use an unencrypted remote shell over the Internet!



I'll try this, thanks a lot. And I really have to say that I don't have
the slightest idea why one should block ssh...


Probably this is some firewall feature ("feature"?), where only a handful of standard ports may
be accessed from the outside. Ask your ISP whether they can permit this kind of access
(or even disable the firewall for your account altogether, if you prefer so).
If they can't, try to live with it or switch your ISP...
