[Dri-devel] Firewalled (Was: Weekly IRC meeting reminder)

2003-09-29 Thread Jos Fonseca
Anybody knows if there is any way around firewalled IRC port?  As this
is (hopefully) my last PhD year I've decided to spend most of my time in
the university and dropped internet home. I'd like to assist the IRC
meetings but unfortunatly my university blocks the IRC port. I once
asked IT support to open it up for me, but they close it again. That's
why I'm wondering if there is any way to access the freenode.net network
in another port before relying on IT support once again. My google
searches on this subject have been unsuccessful so far...

Thanks,

José Fonseca

If you have ssh access to a machine where the IRC port isn't blocked,
you can use ssh port forwarding (or simply run an IRC client in a
terminal, purists might throw in :).
