Back up and running

Although I've had internet access since the day I moved in, iChat just wasn't working. I finally figured out why when I tried to access my private email server and I started getting packet bounces. I guess Kabel Duetschland (my breitband internet provider) limits certain outgoing ports (apparently anything other than 80, 110, and 443 or whatever IMAP4 uses). AIM uses some screwy port up in the early 5000's (5190, for those of you playing along at home).

Luckily for me, somebody set up a listener for the AIM protocol on port 80. Now I'm back online, ready to iChat.

If you don't see me online, but you think you should, email me your name and SN.

*sigh*

This is going to ruin my German....
