Is there a video program that isn't likely to be blocked on campus?

I have a webcam and mic here at school and had the intentions of using them to conference with my girlfriend back home, unfortunately the video conferencing capabilities of both AIM and MSNM are blocked. Are there any programs likely to not be blocked, sort of like how Google Talk pretty much works through anything?

You could try using one of those programs on a different port (if they support it; I haven't used either AIM or MSN for videoconferencing). You might see if you can just find some generic webcam/teleconferencing software.

Also, note that attempting to get around your school's network policies may get you in trouble. Usually when they block something like this, it's because people were eating up all the Internet bandwidth with it.

Well I don't really want to circumvent anything, I just want to find a program that works natively.

For the record, Google Talk is AWESOME with phone. Clear as a bell, no lag, and works behind any firewall.

you and your gf will break up anyways, not even worth the hassle

people like me go to colleges to visit buddies, and its all over
