I tried using an SSH tunnel, and it worked fine for me.  (Granted, I'm
running FreeBSD, not Linux -- but I'm using OpenSSH which is available
for Linux as well...)

Here's what I did:

% ssh -2 -f -N -L 8023:as400.xxx.com:23 -l klemscot firewall.xxx.com
klemscot@firewall.xxx.com's password:(I typed my password here)

% xt5250 localhost:8023
(and it worked!)

So... I thought I'd post what I did, maybe others will find it useful :)
