Unfortunately, it's a lot of users, not just one. And the instructions on
how to do this are actually freely available on the RealAudio web site!!!
They literally have a whole section of their site dedicated to "how to
circumvent the firewall", along with a list of all firewalls it works with!
That made me extremely angry when I read it. It makes it so much harder for
us to do our jobs when vendors like that go around telling people how to get
around security.
