Thanks for the heads up on gentoo. If I ever get some new hardware, I'll give it a try.
I'm not sure why you can't ssh out of your work box, though. I can't imagine that someone would port block outgoing ssh connections but allow outgoing telnet connections, but I guess stranger things have happened... If that's the case, set up sshd to listen on port 23 (the telnet port) and then tell your ssh client (I'd recommend PuTTY on windows) to connect on port 23.
One thing you shouldn't do is ssh from a telnet connection. Anyone can listen in on the telnet side almost eliminating the security of ssh (unless the telnet connection is on a secure line).
