Well, the bottom line is the only way to get out is probably http. As they surely have an http proxy, the only way out is http, *speaking http*. In this situation I have used httptunnel successfuly in the past. It tunnels a tcp connection over http, so you use it to forward a local port to a remote port. On the remote, you connect that chosen port to port 22 on that machine. You can then ssh to local port, speaking to your remote sshd. There are a number of restrictions on httptunnel - e.g. the maximum number of open tcp connections is 1. I found the version I used somewhat unstable, and the beta current at the time lock up the box immediately. There are packages in http://volker.dnsalias.net/soft/rpm/suse8.0/ How does this bouncer thing someone mentioned work?
