Just getting a DSL line is pretty cheap.  Using a DSL like to test lets
you remove a lot more of your network from the equation than vpn'ing out
or tunneling stuff over tor.  Plus if your main connection out ever went
down (not that _yours_ would, but that might factor into the decision
making process for smaller institutions) you could get out via DSL.
 
A previous employer had a couple EVDO cards/dongles for laptops to
fulfill the same goals -- external testing and emergency access.
