command-line reverse connection tunnel?

As to the subject, I don't know how else to describe what I need in simple
words :)

I am hoping one of you might have an idea on how to implement the following,
keeping in mind that everything MUST be done using a command-line only. I
have a machine ("SERVER1") behind a firewall that lets in only port 80, on
which there is an HTTP server, but lets out all traffic. I need to connect
my machine ("CLIENT") to that server's Remote Desktop, which runs on port
3389. I have command line access to the remote machine by sending a reverse
command prompt. So, the question is, what tools are out there that would
let me create a tunnel as follows:

SERVER1 ----> CLIENT1(port whatever) <---- CLIENT1(Listener port 3389)
CLIENT1(RDP client program) -----> CLIENT1(port 3389) <- Existing Pipe ->
SERVER1(port 3389)

To explain, I need a program on SERVER1 that creates a connection to
CLIENT1. the connection that is created to CLIENT1 then needs to listen on
port 3389. When CLIENT1 recieves a connection, it needs to pass it through
the existing pipe, and SERVER1 needs to connect to itself on port 3389.

Sort of confusing, I know, and any other suggestions would be welcome, with
the stipulation that, again, SERVER1 can only accept outside connections
from port 80, but can make connection to any computer.

Thanks,
