Ok I have this ISP who is just plain awful. They buy services from
our University, and then sell it to people in apartment complexes. I
am paying for 3 mbps but am getting no where even close to that on all
bandwidth tests and my newsgroup downloads are awfully slow. I know
this is possible to do but am unsure of how to do it.

How do I setup tunneling onto a computer that is on the university
backbone (I have access and account on this computer)? I can ssh onto
this machine just fine, but do I need to create a .ssh file for my
user account that says which ports to forward? I can use multiple
ports on my newsgroup program (i.e. 23, 119, 7000, 8000, 9000 etc) but
i cannot use anything other than 4 digits in my newsgroup program (I
use grabit but can change if there is a better program that allows for
port redirect to localhost if need be).

Thanks for the help in advance.
