 I may have misunderstood and don't have access to the whole thread
 but isn't punching holes through firewalls what Universal Plug and
 Play is all about? Substitute RPC for IM.

 Neatly sidestepping any critique of MS' intentions, implementations,
 etc. it does seem to work quite well and due to the large customer
 base it is quite widely supported by routers (with NAT and/or
 firewall software).
