How do they stop IP connection on port 80 then? On Wed, 2 Oct 2002, Bill Olah wrote:
LA Unified blocks the FQDN and connection port the AIM login service uses not the block of IP addresses. They also track who makes the attempts. Getting around it is a lost cause as all IM connections are suppose to be tracked. -----Original Message----- From: jseymour () LinxNet com [mailto:jseymour () LinxNet com] Sent: Tuesday, October 01, 2002 8:59 AM To: firewall-wizards () honor icsalabs com Subject: RE: [fw-wiz] AIMIt seems like you could use Jabber because they proxy AIM. Different IP address.Not really. What Jabber allows for is "transports" on the Jabber server side to allow a "transport-capable" Jabber client to connect to services such as AIM "through" a Jabber session. This would require that a Jabber server with the desired transports installed be available, of course. And AIM, in particular, has been blocking the well-known Jabber servers. Plus the transports have historically been... um... a mite... undependable? for, uh, other reasons. Regards, Jim
