Sounds like you're heading into dangerous TCP-over-TCP territory.[1]

A better idea all round is simply to forward either the SSH or even
telnet ports; something like this should work:

  # Create the tunnel:
  insidehost$ ssh -R 8022:localhost:22 outsidehost

  # On outsidehost, connect back to insidehost using:
  outsidehost$ ssh -p 8022 localhost
