As we all know, IRC access seems to be blocked at WVU.

To try getting to the bottom of things, I decided to inquire what the
official ResNet policy concerning IRC was.  The answer was thus:

"Mr. Turnbull,

We don't have a policy against using it, but the standard IRC ports are
blocked because the University was the victim of many virus attacks using
those ports.

ResNet Staff
West Virginia University Division of Student Affairs
Ph: (304) 293-4444 x1"

Make of that what you will.  If that's the case, are there any ports that
AREN'T blocked?
