how to sign in msn messenger behind a firewall


as the subject implies: we have a firewall at work, so how to sign in msn messenger behind it ??

there must be some add on program or a website that emulates msn. But I'm pretty sure I heard some ppl do it behind firewalls

Open up the port from the firewall to connect. If your not the admin of your network, ask him nicely to allow to login to MSN. If not, touch luck really as that would be your Company and Admin's choice in protecting the company network.

GAIM works nicely when using it in Linux.
