Doesn't running another protocol within SSH slow down the connection a
notch? I ain't no networking guru but from my tech support days whenever my
users run encryption on consumer grade routers they complain about slow
connections. I usually explain to them that it's because encrypting your
connection on wireless is a trade off between security and speed.

Don't be too harsh if I got it wrong, it's my first time and it might
hurt... he he he

At least on Smart 3G, you can ssh but you can't access some "unfamiliar"
services. For example, the native git protocol is not allowed, so you'll
have to tunnel that somehow. Which, since ssh is allowed, is plausible.

BTW, useful ssh trick/switch:

  ssh -D <port> <your_server>

The above creates a SOCKS 4 proxy on <port>, using <your_server> as the
endpoint of the SOCKS 4 proxy. Useful when combined with the tsocks
library/tool (On Ubuntu, apt-get install tsocks)
