One of the few down sides to my new job is what appears to be a rather
restrictive firewall.  I typically open an SSH connection to my computer at
home, which has a screen session running Irssi so I can participate in
#mhvlug.  Yesterday my connection attempts were failing, but most websites
work, so I figured maybe they'd let something go through port 80.  This
morning I moved SSH to port 80 and then tried to connect again from work,
and it still fails. Not being too knowledgeable about these things, I'd
guess they're looking at the packages and blocking anything that isn't
obviously web traffic.

All I really want is to be able to get terminal access to my machine, it
doesn't even have to be in real time or anything.  So I was wondering if
anyone knew of some kind of web interface I could set up on my home computer
that would accept terminal commands on a web form or something and display
what is on the screen as a web page?  This would probably make using
programs like screen problematic, but it's better than nothing.
