I'm trying to find a Free Web based messenger (like Sprint's -> http://www.sprintbiz.com/icc/app/sim/ ) but my search has come up empty.
I would like to connect to MSN Messenger through Internet Explorer (since the ports used by MSN Messenger and ICQ are blocked by our corperate firewall).
The web based, java version of ICQ works like a charm but I can't find anything that supports MSN Messenger!

Any help is GREATLY appreciated!!!

Thanks

I could use this too. I managed to get ICQ working with the auto-detect using proxies and shizz, but I can't even install MSN Messenger w/o admin privs here at work, and AOL express doesn't work cuz of the ports blocked. Never could get Trillian to connect either for the same reason.

This brings up another request ...

If anyone knows of a GOOD public proxy allowing connections to ICQ and MSN ports ...

I've tried looking around http://tools.rosinstrument.com/proxy/ but it's impossible to find a working one. They seem to be up and down in a matter of minutes.

good luck finding one
free public proxies are somewhat rare i believe.
why not install one on your home pc?
