Subject: Need help getting IP traffic through a router.

Greetings:
	I am another who is fairly new to the firewall list as well as the
security realm and I would like to request any and all ideas/information
(if there is any) on how to create a tunnel through a router that is
configured to only pass ICMP packets?
	The reason for this is the company in which I work for currently has a
fractional T1 link to the Internet but we have no real firewall in place
to protect us from outside attacks.  So prevent this we have that link
going directly to a router that only allows outgoing ICMP traffic and
inbound responses to that traffic.  Unfortunately I do not have control
over the router myself so I cannot reconfigure the router to allow
additional traffic.  Which leads me to the request for any info on
possibly configuring two servers, one on the outside and one inside, to
create a tunnel or pass encapsulated IP datagrams that would allow me
access.

Thanks in advance,
