Well, I have a somewhat similar situation and I have an account for Dynamic DNS with tzo.com. I do not have a black box router though. My router is a Linux box running ssh. So I just ssh to this box first and then I can ssh to my internal machines from there. Does your router have any such telnet/ssh facility? Port forwarding to your internal machine can also work if your router privides that. i.e you can set it up such that any connections to port 22 (ssh) get redirected to port 22 on the internal machine. Just some thoughts.
