You install OpenSSH server at your home-PC, make sure that you have
route from work to the homebox and enchant "ssh -L 119:203.29.75.35:119"

And if you'll close the SSH-connection, there's no route to the news
server either.

Well, there is that.  I've always gotten permission first before using 
something like this.

Heck, CP/M let you have extensionless files. :-)

What next, IP via Morse Code timed SNMP pings? The check sums would need

You laugh, but this is exactly the sort of thing NSA, CIA, and other spy 
places worry are running on their computers. It's called "covert 
channels", which wikipedia has a decent page on. "Port knocking" is when 
you do this on purpose to talk to your firewall.
