It seems Yahoo! has something called 'firewall with no proxy' which
GAIM does not yet support. I have not checked a libyahoo2 based client
though. But is the non-standard ports the only problem since GAIM does
not work even when I give port 80 to it. AFAIK the firewall blocks all
ports >1024.

But funnily, now that I have got the sysadmin to temporarily open the
ports, Freetalk still does not work, but GAIM does. Is this due to the
absence of 'proxy support'?

Ok. Here it is. I am attaching
/home/rishi/freetalk-0.69/doc/version.texi. I think the problematic
portion of version.texi is:
ftp_proxy=http://mmh3:address@hidden:3128/
http_proxy=http://mmh3:address@hidden:3128/
https_proxy=http://mmh3:address@hidden:3128/
socks_proxy=http://mmh3:address@hidden:3128/

Thanks,
