Are you sure there is none? I recently saw a computer (one of the
firewall machines) where I get a telnet-like prompt when I did telnet
to the machine. Then I issue a "open <host> <port>" command and have
a telnet session across our firewall.
Unfortunately, I don't know which program this is (maybe I can tell
next week). But I know that this machine is a linux system running
one of the outer proxies (unless the telnet port is forwarded by a
filtering firewall to an other machine).
