Imagine this scenario: you've got a computer on a
local network behind a firewall. You don't have access
to this firewall, so you can't, say, do port
forwarding or anything nifty like that. What I'd like
to do is ssh from somewhere else on the Internet into
this invisible box.

The only thing I could come up with is somehow start a
ssh session from StuckBehindFirewall box, connecting
to SomewhereOutside box, and then when I'm at
SomewhereOutside box I can sit down and somehow "see"
this ssh session--kind of like a "reverse" ssh. Does
that make sense? Basically, to ssh from A to B but
instead of having a window appear on computer A that
is a connection to B, I want to ssh from A to B and
have a window appear on B that is a connection to A.

Or if there's some other much, much easier way to get
packets forwarded to a box behind a firewall on a
local network, without having access to that firewall,
that would be even better.

Thanks all,
  Ross

p.s. I'm back! I don't know if anyone is still on this
list who was here when I left, but if so, Greetings!
