Does ParaChat Professional work with my firewall?

Problem:

Will I be able to use ParaChat Professional if I have a firewall?

---

Solution:

Yes. ParaChat software automatically tries to connect the chat client (chat room) to the chat server using two different connection protocols. The fastest and most efficient protocol is TCP/IP, which is set as the primary connection protocol. However, some firewalls will automatically block TCP/IP connections over non-standard ports. If a firewall has blocked the initial TCP/IP connection attempt, the ParaChat room will automatically attempt a connection to the chat server using HTTP protocol over port 80. Port 80 is a standard HTTP port used by most web sites, and as such, makes ParaChat virtually firewall-proof.
