You could try port 1024 :-). Or more popular port 8080. Many corporate firewall blocks many port but 8080 are sometimes open for grab. ISP only bother to blocks port 1024, I think. At any rate, port 8080 is used by some http hosts. -- ~\^o^/~~~ ~\^.^/~~~ ~\^*^/~~~ ~\^_^/~~~ ~\^+^/~~~ ~\^:^/~~~ ~\^v^/~~~ + Osamu Aoki [EMAIL PROTECTED], GnuPG-key: 1024D/D5DE453D + + My debian quick-reference, http://www.aokiconsulting.com/quick/+

Thanks, Andrei along with port 79, netscape also blocks out port 87. Basically so that no one can use netscape to do nasty things to finger or the ttylink ? If you're manually specifying the port, anything above 1024 will be free. -- Adam McDaniel Infrastructure Technology Consultant M-Tech Mercury Information Technology, Inc.
