Surrey uni and there firewall

[Ferg]

Right.......... i'm looking at going to surrey next year, i know they have JANET :E, but i've been told they have a firewall, which may mean that ICQ, IRC and most importantly........ CS won't work :bigcry:

Can anyone (preferably some1 who goes to surrey) tell me if this is true or not pls, cos its goner suck if its true :(

AFAIK most Janet based unis use a firewall to restrict almost everything except HTTP (or FTP through a proxy) - basically meaning games, ICQ, IRC you name it - they're all out the window (although games tend to work within the network).
