Hi,

I'm working on a public terminal - in a public library - where they are
blocking certain ports.

C'est la vie, of course.

I just suggested to tech guy here that they "fail more elegantly," when
ports are blocked, i.e., e.g., say, "I'm sorry the port over which you
are requesting this information is blocked on this terminal," or some
such....

He said that this is not possible, due to M$ restrictions, etc....

I am curious: Is this true?... Or could he, in fact, generate such a
msg?...

Tks...
 
Never heard of M$. If they don't exist it could be rather limiting.

Now if they were dealing with Microsoft,..then it depends on the product and
if the Tech knew what they were doing when they set it up. If it were ISA
Server for example there are several ways to deal with this. But now if it
was a product from $un then you probably can't do anything with it.
