Edit: Doh! Never mind... 5190 cuts off all the AIM services...

What I'm trying to do is to block off a certain port to allow AIM messenging to work, but not the file transfer. Looks like the default port for both of these actions are the same, meaning I can't close one off without closing off the other...
