    It's not a shell, but I've done it with TightVNC. My client was on an XP
    system, behind a firewall, where he knew NOTHING of the firewall policies or
    IP address. I'm on Linux, behind my own firewall. This is more or less OS
    independent, as long as TightVNC works on the OSs you are using. Since I
    could not get through his firewall, he ran TightVNC server, then added my IP
    address as a client. My firewall was set to forward that port to my
    workstation, I had TightVNC Client running AND listening on my workstation,
    and as soon as he said he had entered my IP addy, I got a window in KDE of
    his desktop and could do what I wanted.

    So if other suggestions don't work, if he has X running and you do too, or
    you're on Win32, you can use TightVNC.
