Yes, it's definitely possible to tunnel traffic through an established
ssh connection.  Probably beyond the scope of what can be explained on
the mailing list (not to mention, i have never actually set this up
myself and would probably do a poor job of it compared to others on this
list).  I would just search for 'ssh vpn tun'.  There's bound to be
information out there by people that have done this at other non linux
friendly vpn shops.  I have also seen people doing this to get around
web filtering, monitoring, etc @work.
