Connecting to a Linksys router through a unix terminal

So here's the situation...I have a Linsksys router controlling a
network at my house, 150 miles away from where I am. Before I left, I
was smart enough to forward port 22 to a computer on the network, so
that I could ssh and scp in to the network and such. However, I
wanted to use a different port and, like it should, the router blocks
it. Is there any unix tool that I can use to connect to the router.
Like I said, I can get to it from the inside, but I can't ssh to it's
ip address, nor telnet nor ftp. I figure if I can get in somehow, I
can configure it to add another port so that I can share the desktop
(which is what I'm trying to do, but can't because all ports are
blocked, and it can't share 22 because of ssh.) Any help here? My
only way of getting to the router has been through http, using a web
browser, and I simply don't have that luxury now. Thanks.
