ah! I see...Still doesn't work though.

ash-2.04$ ssh -v -P 140.203.12.14
SSH Version 1.2.22 [alpha-dec-osf4.0], protocol version 1.5.
Standard version.  Does not use RSAREF.
tina: ssh_connect: getuid 60005 geteuid 0 anon 1
tina: Connecting to 140.203.12.14 port 22.
tina: connect: Connection timed out
tina: Trying again...

So I'm REALLY confused. I've tried sshing to another machine inside the
140.203 firewall, everything ok. And from there I can ssh to
140.203.12.14...no problems. The sys admin was good enough to give me an
extract from the firewall conf, and it confirmed that connections to
140.203.12.14 via port 22 were ok! Where the hell else do I look when
I'm not even behind a firewall myself. Have MI5 set up a ssh block on my
or something!!! ok--so I'm getting a bit carried away.... any other
ideas?
