Ooops.  Yes, I meant to say that.  (I guess I was trying too quickly
to be cute in my earlier response).

At USWest, we have a firewall.  I can telnet directly to the gate,
and then open up another telnet session from there.  I must go
to the gate first, though (our gate is "igate"):

---------------------example---------------------------
% telnet igate
Trying...
Connected to igate.advtech.uswest.com.
Escape character is '^]'.

Welcome to U S WEST telnet proxy service.

Type ? for help.
I-telnet> open kplace.monrou.com 1025
---------------------example---------------------------
...(then I get in).

With this setup, I get in every time.  I suppose a key point
may be that David and I seem to be doing the same thing to 
get past the firewall.
