Question about remote ssh tunnelling.

Hello,


A firewall between SERVER and CLIENT only allows TCP port 22 from
SERVER to CLIENT (but not viceversa!)

SERVER -------22------> CLIENT

What I would like to achieve via ssh tunnelling is to send TCP port
1984 traffic from CLIENT to SERVER:
(with SERVER listening on port 1984, of course)

SERVER <-----1984------ CLIENT

Q1. Is this doable, in the first place?
Q2. If yes, how do I do it?

By reading the ssh man page on either boxes (Solaris 9), my
understanding was that I had to go this way:

[SERVER]$ ssh -R 1984:SERVER:1984 CLIENT

But that didn't quite work ;-(
What did I do wrong?

Thanks in advance for your help.
