I was hoping there might be some sort of software that would work like AOL
messanger or maybe Kazzaa. That get's through the firewall no problem, and
other can access my computer via it. However, I would need something a
little more geared towards one on one file transfer. Does anyone know if
something like this might exists and if so where, or what it would be called
so I could figure out what to look for?

Thanks,
Harry

P.S. I call it a firewall, cause that's what it's officially called,
however, all it basicaly does is provide NAT between us and the DSL modem
(ie: it's a router).
