Is it possible to use the Jabber IM if you only have access to the internet
via port 80 (www) through a MS Proxy server?  Does anybody know of any IM
clients that will work in this configuration?

Thanks,

Russell

Something to think about is setting up an internal IM server as a
compromise.

In fact, we had a similar issue at my place of worl. We finally decided to
go with Jabber (http://www.jabber.org/)

It is a pretty full featured IM product and has support for SSL and
Encrypted one on one chats.
