Thanks,
The fly in the ointment is that I want to use AOL as well
(other family members use it). It seems like blocking
5190 also disables the ability to login to AOL.
Ideas? Ideally, I'd like to control this from one point
(the router) rather than install software on each system
to block this. I wonder if the software that can be used
to block AIM can do so without disabling access to AOL?
