We've had this disscusion
ad nauseum already here. It's there perogitive to block what they wish on a network wholly owned by them.
I also recommend a proxy for port 80 (www pages) as those filters can be over confident in what they block (mamograms???)
However, you'd have little to no luck ever convincing anyone that AOL (why on earth would you want that
) or AIM are needed for what your expected to do as a student.
In fact, AIM has no academic or business applications which just leaves you wanting to use school property to converse with freinds on school time and money.
Forget about AIM, use email and phone calls, and look into proxy's.
And my two cents:
And yes i dislike AIM, it's caused many to forget how to communicate as it lacks all that makes human comunication so, well, human. No real conversation has ever occured on AIM. Sure much is typed, but little is actually said. A
is not nor will ever be a smile from someone your speaking to.)
