Your syntax is OK - it is the concept where you have the problem. If you
are doing this as a non-privileged user under UNIX, you are not allowed
to open listeners on ports below 1024. Only root can do that. You need
to specify a higher-numbered port for your end of the connection.

If you are forwarding web connections, use the +C compression flag. Most
of the stuff is text that compresses quite nicely.
