Question 1:
I'm assuming that AOL Instant Messenger has a specified port that it
operates on, and that if I knew which port that was, I could block all of
that ports' activity on my Nortel 450T's (and/or my Accelar 1200's). Is that
a reasonable assumption?

Question 2:
Does anybody know which port AOL Instant Messenger operates on?

Thanks
