[OT] Getting out from behind a corporate firewall

[Stephen]

In June I start work on a ten month project for a company that makes 
network equipment for ISPs.

I expect that they have a very tight firewall and web proxy.

I want to be able to get out from it, of course.

Nothing more than email and accessing photography web sites that are 
banned on most proxies.

I have read about httptunnel. Is this the way to go?

I will have an XP machine as client, and have a Linux server with a 
public IP at home.

All thoughts welcome!
