Online IM Clients

There's a little wager gonig on where I work, who can find the most web-based IM'ing services which don't get blocked by the company filter.
Anyone know some hard to find ones? I've already found a bunch with the google search "online instant messenger -aol -msn -yahoo", now I need some less obvious ones

Thats bullshit, if you have port 80 open(Http://) then e-messenger works.

Use another proxy

That's not a concern, trust me. Let's just say that the majority of the people who work here most likely don't know how to do tunneling, and those that do are too smart to put their careers in jeopardy like that.

Whoa... who mentioned tunneling? There's nothing wrong with using another web proxy if the network admin allows it. I used to do it all the time at college to get to my yahoo mail account.
