They wont be opening all 1024+ ports. Just the one I nominate for
jabber.

Is their help really likely?

What about a VPN solution instead? This shrinks the problem considerably.
And you can have your VPN listening on a port that the firewall admins
already permit through.

Yes I might have to do it that way. I was hoping there might be a jabber
specific solution like you can get for IRC but in this case the proxy runs
on the local machine as all it need do is redirect to an allowed exit port.
Thanks anyway.


If you don't have something else to use, there's always <http://tldp.org/
