Qwest and Linux - info needed

ObJLF: Find a buddy (or buddies) with unblocked Internet

        connectivity who happens not to be using a standard
        port(s) that you want to provide a service(s) on.
        Use ssh to create a secure tunnel(s) that connects
        your buddy's unblocked standard port to whatever
        port on 127.0.0.1 on your box.  Simple.

For SMTP:

root@buddysbox$ ssh -L 25:127.0.0.1:25 my.box.mit.lame.isp.in.cn

ObJLF:  Git yer damn tunnel offa *MY* system!  Yer wastin'
        MY bandwidth and MY CPU with yer tunnel crap.  Git
        a *REAL* Internet connection!
