maybe not ircII but other solutions exist, for example on www.ircnet.org you
can open a cgi based irc client which runs over http. Some proxy servers
allow irc connections thru them (but i've only seen that happen in mIRC).
There are also irc daemons that listen on other ports than 6667 e.g. 8080
which might not be blocked all depends on the configuration of the
proxy/firewall .... just try until you find something that works.
