We do something that sound like what you want, which is to come OUT through a 
firewall you have no control over.  However, our system does make regular 
outgoing FTP connections which helps.

The steps it does are:

* Outgoing FTP to send latest data to our FTP server.

* Try to get by FTP a file called Command.  The contents of the file is 
executed, allowing us to do remote diagnostics or update.  It is not an error 
for this file not to exist.

* If we want interactive access to the system, the Command file contains a line 
like
ssh -NnR 2000:localhost:22   This assumes outgoing access on 
port 22 is permitted which is usually the case.

We can then get full interactive access.

Is that what you want to do?
