The traditional port used for this is 443 (https), which is allowed through by almost any firewall that allows http (my work firewall allows _only_ http and https). There's a port-443 ssh server for fencepost too running on fp-ssh.gnu.org; presumably there'd need to be some sort of different hostname for savannah too, as it's using both http and https ports for real http service. -Miles -- P.S.
