My work environment is what I'd call typical US corporate - IRC nodes are blocked, but I can use a web-based client to access it.
I solve these kinds of problems by routing stuff through an SSH connection to an outside server - which isn't blocked, but which could be configured on port 80 if need be. This way, services like IRC need only connect to localhost. You need an external SSH account, though. -k -- If I haven't seen further, it is by standing in the footprints of giants
