There is also
http://minimals.contextgarden.net/pragma/
Maybe it doesn't contain the latest ConTeXt, but at least it should
work (I can update it at any time, but I have a feeling that it now
contains the latest "stable" release).
An alternative is to use ssh port forwarding, but I'm not sure how
this can be done (there have already been some discussions about that,
so it must be somewhere in archives).
