Hi Tracy :)
   Yah... Hate when BlueCoat is correct :)   I believe their algorhythm
(sp) ignores ports and looks at site contents and other heuristics (sp)

    And yep... if I were to head out to it via its internet protocol
address then it would probably work :)

Thanks,
Art

Dear Art,

YES!  The Empire Machine IS a game site.  BlueCoat is correct, more
power to 'em.

The next question is, does BlueCoat filter both port 23 and 1570 or does
it matter?
