Just set up a proxy :)

I think there are even HTTP-to-anything's out there.

Depends how much you know... :/ The short answer is probably that you need to know what you are doing. And you need a machine somewhere that can run the proxy. I have one running... on my university.. which I left like 4 years ago. :) Erm.. my university is better than yours.

I can't write a step-by-step.. you need to find a program.. easiest is probably to get something like HTTP-to-SSH working

You can maybe try this:

You get shrinkage when it's cold outside? We canadians must've built up a resistance.

The entire time I was there (1 horrible year) I did not see a single attractive girl who wasn't surrounded by a mob of dorks.

Now that I think about it, there wasn't a single girl at all who wasn't surrounded by a mob of dorks.

I now know what hell is.

If its just the ports... I know a couple of muds that offered not only one port to connect to, but two, the second usually being 8000 or 8080 which are not blocked by most firewall configurations since its the standard http or https ports, so it might be an idea to ask the admins whether a second port would make sense.
