chat on port 443 or 80

[kb1ghc]

i was wondering if there are any instant messaging/chat clients that run on port 80 or 443 to get past a firewall.

or if theres a way to get AIM or Yahoo! to work on those ports.

(and AIM express doesn't use port 80)

thanks,

Skype can do it without messing up with ports.

but it can --ONLY-- use port 80 and 443 all other ports are COMPLETLY CLOSED

What firewall ... most chat clients are designed, knowing that firewalls exist and thus can switch to port 80 ... most.

What is "it:"?
