If only 53 is open, you are pretty much out of luck except for two possible solutions: 1. The social solution You grab a huge bag of gummy bears, carry them to your real network administrator and ask him to poke a hole for you and your buddy into the firewalls. 2. The technical solution You get a box completely outside your compus's network into which both of you can ssh.
