OpenSSH as Proxy Connection

I'm using ICS on my Sprint Touch. I want to run a proxy on my phone so I can setup firefox to use my ICS connection instead of my LAN connection. So I found this:

Now this is for the iPhone, but seems to be that you should be able to do the same on WM. You can set up OpenSSH server on the Windows Mobile device, open a connection using a client like putty, setup a proxy in firefox to localhost:9999 and you are good to go (all the while being encrypted as a bonus).

Here's where OpenSSH for CE/WM can be downloaded:

But this is site is pretty terse in terms of how to get things running. I can't get the SSH server to run on my Touch. Anyone else had any success with OpenSSH? Anyone else interested in trying this out as well?
