Hello mailing list.  My question is kind of silly really...  First, I
have configured the transports successfully at home.  Very cool to be so
connected all at once!  At work, there is a corporate firewall that
keeps the transports from connecting to the MSN/ICQ/AIM servers.  Is
there some way to use a "proxy gateway" (for lack of a better term) that
uses port 80 to get out into the cloud, then fwd the connection to the
proper port that the chat server is expecting?  Any thoughts?

Speaking for PyICQ and PyAIM, you can use the proxyServer config  
variables in config.xml to make them connect through a Socks proxy.   
Hopefully that's what you are looking for!  I don't know about MSN  
but I'm almost positive it has proxy support.
