Actually, SSH would work just fine too, but it might pose a problem for certain clients.
The purpose would be for MUDing. I can already do so at campus through a Flash client (so essentially through a proxy), but the Flash client is lacking in features. It is practically like MUDing on a telnet client! Haha!
Anyway, I'll add another discovery: it is an eduroam thing, because I'm currently in Ireland on eduroam and noticed it is blocked here too.
Probably for security, as you say, but why SSH as well then? I bet this is annoying for the Computer Science students.
