i now run everything everywhere on an ssh tunnel on port 80 through a friendly site. since i travel a lot, this means i can have all my services, IM, mail, web etc configured to local ports and don't have to bother adjusting my config. almost every network allows traffic on port 80. but i've come across a couple of networks where _ssh_ on port 80 didn't work, though http and https did. which seemed to require a pointlessly misdirected level of sophistication, especially as these same networks were ok with ssh on port 22... time to dig out ping tunnel or ssh-over-http. -r
