I've got several systems on bellsouth dsl using ssh without any problem.

(ssh is port 22) Try running nmap against your ip from the external
system. If that port is being blocked, it should come up as "filtered"

The other thing you can do is use a different, non-blocked port. Add an
additional "Port <portnumber>" line to your /etc/ssh/sshd_config then
restart ssh and try connecting from the remote machine by doing "ssh -p
<portnumber> [EMAIL PROTECTED]"
