Seriously, if it blocked the sys admins should have a reason to. The reason is certainly not for us to work around it. If you think they are insane in setting some restrictions, take it up with them. Looking for ways to tunnel only makes your position more complicated. Abishek Goda _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
