and bypassing firewalls is an excellent way to get into BIG trouble with
whomever is running the firewall.  It is irrelevant how ignorant that
person might be about the traffic which passes through their firewall.
I'm sure if they were only slightly less ignorant they'd run a strict
HTTP gateway on port 80 of their firewall and then you'd be stuck
wrappging everything up to look like proper HTTP in order to bypass
their firewall.  It is better that you learn to negotiate the access you
need than to have to resort to using covert channels which could get you
busted.

Steno is a great thing, so it wont get anyone busted.
