I initially thought of Jingle as well, but end-to-end Jingle doesn't
work without Alice having a custom client. And a server-to-client
Jingle session doesn't add anything to Ajay's use-case.

PS. An generic Jingle tunnel application is something I've been
meaning to write. It would be pretty neat to tunnel ssh, etc over
XMPP. It allows things like NAT traversal and stream management, which
would be nice to have. I'd love to be able to ssh into
waqas at example.com/Home, without any need to forward ports on my home
router, or worry about dynamic IPs.
