Subject: [hobbit] Can Hobbit talk over an ssh tunnel?

I have a client behind a fairly tight firewall that is controlled at a
much higher level than me. Getting port 1984 authorized is something
that is not going to happen, but port 22 is open going both ways.  As
user "bb" on the server, or on the client, I can ssh from one system to
the other without a password prompt.

Is there a way to convince Hobbit to talk over an ssh tunnel?

Thanks for any assistance.
Gar
