>>Eric, I had the same problem at work. I couldn't break the firewall to access IRC

I need for trading.

But how do you get an internet connection?? You still can't go thru the company LAN since the firewall is protecting it. I suppose you could dial out thru a modem but then you need the sys admin guys to set you up a phone line (at least I would need that kinda help).

I've actually looked at wireless internet connections. $29.95 a month for all you can eat, including wireless modem, ISP, etc. But only 14.4 kbps. Richochet modem is what it's called, I think.

Good Trading.
