No - you're right there. The problem is that UQnet blocks all port
80/443 traffic _except_ for the proxy servers. Hence, any stuff sent out
from my PC claiming to be for port 80 at it's destination is unrouted
and vanishes from the ken of man and beast. There's no way of telling
seti at home to tunnel things throught the caching proxy.
