ICQ _used_ to be port 4000 TCP, but i believe this is changed now that the clients now use AOL comm libs
Yahoo uses http (groan!) to login and then uses 1863 AOL uses either 5190 or 5050 i _think_. My firewall script bunched all of them together, i forgot which port went to whom \8(. I believe the safest bet is to DENY everything, and only allow access to the web via proxy authentication. This way you will know what sites each student is surfing!
