Hey guys
Wondering if you could help me out here... I mainly use the computers here at uni (only til september though!) and as you would imagine they've got a pretty good firewall up here.
What I need is to know of any decent live chat sites where I could talk to someone eg my boyf, in a similar style to IRC. obviously cant use IRC or MSN because I cant download them due to the firewall. Have tried various places, but keep coming up with blanks. In a lot of the sites (like Jolt) I can dowload the applet, but it keeps failing to connect to the server.
I know it's possible, coz I've seen one or two people chatting away here at uni - didnt want to be nosey and ask, else they'd know I was staring at their computer screens!
Help anyone?
(I'd be eternally grateful )
Thanks

Using Lycos now, it's the one that's working best for me.
