So your work blocks port 5190, but you're just connecting to the AOL
server on port 9898?  [It seems that the AOL servers will accept a
connection on *any* port, so blocking outgoing port 5190 is kind of
useless.]

Indeed, otrproxy right now understands that a connection to port 5190
means to speak the OSCAR protocol.  I suppose that could be made
configurable, but it's not at the moment.

[As a suboptimal workaround, you could use gaim and gaim-otr while at
work, I suppose.]
