1. Using SSH / Port Forwarding to get around local proxies & firewalls

As a visitor, in one of the classrooms at the local University, I am
not authorised to logon to their DHCP network (administrative delays).

However, I have just been given an account by my department here on a
linux machine (with sshd & such) that is accessible from the
classroom's network and to the outside internet which I have been told
will work in a port forwarding manner.

The problem is the machines on offer are all windows based, so not the
usual commandline options for port forwarding with ssh.

I have been reading and it seems that using PuTTY or MindTerm on
Windows (Win98) would allow me to forward HTTP:// requests and such
over the linux box and use the web from this room.

1) Does anyone have any recommendations on which Windows SSH client I
should use for this (use PuTTY for simple remote logins, but what is
best for the port forwarding?)

2) Am I using the correct terminology for what I want?  (i.e. being
able to conduct google searches for this)

3) Links to articles or tutorials and such...

THANKS!
