Not even ssh, which is a royal pain in the ass.

you can change the port ssh is using (but you might then violate our

Doesn't help if the only connection I'm allowed to make is to port 8080 on
proxy-server.company.com

Yes, I know how you can tunnel ssh through a web proxy. I don't
particularly want to get fired, though. We have a telnet proxy, and so I
telnet home and use text based news and mail clients there. Which is one
reason why I LOVE mutt and trn and have never been tempted to the dark
side of GUI newsreaders. The other reason is that I can navigate my news
without taking my hands off the home row and grabbing a mouse.
