So, from anywhere outside my (old) work location, I could SSH in on my
non-standard port (which, as may have been mentioned, is completely
transparent once you set up your personal, host-specific SSH config
options), and from inside work I just used port 22 from that single IP
address (well, a pair of IP addresses, actually).  But since port 22
wasn't open to every script kiddie and their script dogs, I didn't get
the login spam.
