Play around with netcat/packet capture software and XBConnect and try to reverse engeneer what they are doing?

Hmm. Another possibility: set up a tunnel forwarding those two ports (TCP and UDP) to a PC in the same local network as the xboxes in san jose. From the amazon description linked, only 2 ports are involved in playing xbox games on a LAN.

XBox.to.ca <-> LocalPCTunnelEnd <----> RemotePCTunnelEnd <-> XBox.sj.ca.us

If I am right, and only those two ports are used, you should be able to fool the XBoxen in San Jose into thinking the RemotePCTunnelEnd is your xbox in Toronto... (Maybe not, but one could hope. One possible way this could fail is if the content of xbox packets includes some IP/Ethernet identification information.)

Mostly theoretical, sorry. =(
