[KLUG Members] how can I get around a port block to setup vpn?

[Rusty Yonkers]

Yes I can use ssh, and telnet, and ftp, and web, and smtp, and dns,
but not vpn, or icmp (thus no ping or traceroute which I am suppose
to demo in class).  It is a nat'ed connection too.... 

(by the way Bruce... as far as reasonable technical conversations
with these corporate people... they think that anyone at any of the
schools do not know anything more than turning on a computer..... I
have tried to have reasonable conversations with them on many things
and all they say is that they are the only ones that can do anything
- and this from people that think Linux is going away and that
everyone will only be using Windows within a couple of years!!!!)
