The only thing I can think of is to put your mud on some system port, like port 80 (HTTP), so that
the proxy thinks you talking to a WWW server. I think I heard a while back that you can run two
muds at the same time, one for players, the other for OLC. You could run OLC on a port that the
proxy will let you talk to. I assume that Telnet still works for shell access right?
You have to be root to run a program on a port below 1024, so if you don't have access you are out
of luck, because it will take some l33t skills to get past a properly configured firewall/proxy.

The other persons explanation was pretty good, and much simpler than I could have put it.

Java telnet apps can only access the computer from which you loaded the class file, for security
reasons. I'm working on a way around that however, my "telnet gateway" that I am working on may be
able to help you. Someone ask earlier about redirecting a telnet session, well, you could run my
planned "telnet gateway" on a low port that the proxy will let you through to, and it will connect
to the mud and pass all the information along to you through that port.
