Actually, unless they've changed the code, I believe the AIM servers listen on almost EVERY TCP port. I know they listen on 53, because at my old employer they blocked everything except port 53 for DNS lookups and I configured my AIM client to use 53 and it worked just fine.
You could block all of the AIM server IP's if you know what they are. In that case just use the ipchains commands below, or use iptables. -----Original Message----- From: Anthony E.
