I ssh into many systems everyday so changing to non-standard ports is inconvenient. Rather than speculate what other ways might work I chose to suggest what has worked for me in the past. In any case I don't think many ISPs forward all ports to the user. Depending on their policy, they will forward certain ports. If its a non-standard port, and the ISP forwards selective ports it is more likely that those will be blocked. In any case I think Ed's suggestion is something the OP should try too. -- Suvayu Open source is the future.
