hmm, would it be possible for him to start a ssh tunnel from his end to a
unused port on your machine. Then have his sshd listen on that port.
You should be able to ssh -p someport localhost and end up on his machine.
/usr/bin/ssh -l his.username.on.you.host -f -R 6123:his.host.ip.address:6123
your.host.ip.address sleep 100000000
On his machine
/usr/sbin/sshd -p 6123
Then you, on your machine
ssh -p 6123 localhost
Dunno this might work.

and the irony of it is that if it is comfort or money it values more, it
will lose that, too.
